The MDA received more than 300 dicamba drift related complaints during the 2021 growing season. For the 2022 growing season, the MDA is working with the EPA and the registrants of the three dicamba products, XtendiMax®, Engenia®, and Tavium® on amending product labels that would include the following restrictions.
- Cutoff date: Do not apply south of interstate 94 after June 12th. Do not apply north of interstate 94 after June 30th.
- Cutoff Temperature: Do not apply if the air temperature of the field at the time of application is over 85 degrees Fahrenheit or Service’s forecasted high temperature for the nearest available location for the day exceeds 85 degrees Fahrenheit.
The product label comprising these EPA approved MN specific restrictions is available on the product manufacturer’s website. Check the company’s web site to download the restrictions prior to application of any of these three dicamba products. The restrictions are also promoted through the mandatory dicamba specific training. Compliance with these MN specific restrictions and other restrictions listed on the product label is mandatory.
Dicamba is an important tool in combating herbicide resistant weeds in DT soybeans. Products containing dicamba can cause serious damage to non-dicamba-tolerant soybeans and to other sensitive crop and non-crop plants. The MDA wishes to preserve this tool for farmers. However, it must be used without impacts on neighboring crops, homes, farms, and gardens.
Federal label prohibits over-the-top application of dicamba on soybeans after June 30th for all three products. In addition, the federal label of Tavium prohibits application after June 30th or after V4 growth stage, whichever comes first for the target soybean crop. The federal labels for XtendiMax prohibits application after June 30th or after R1 growth stage. This means that these products cannot be applied once the R2 stage has initiated. R2 is a full bloom stage, when open flowers are present at one of the two uppermost nodes on the main stem with a fully developed leaf.
