During the 2022 growing season, the MDA worked with the EPA and the registrants of the three dicamba products, XtendiMax®, Engenia®, and Tavium® to include the following restrictions on the product labels.
DO NOT apply south of interstate 94 after June 12. DO NOT apply north of interstate 94 after June 30.
Statewide Restriction: DO NOT apply if the air temperature of the field at the time of application is over 85 degrees Fahrenheit or if the National Weather Service’s forecasted high temperature for the nearest available location for the day exceeds 85 degrees Fahrenheit. Forecasted temperature must be recorded at the start of the application.
The EPA has approved these restrictions and have amended the product labels for these three dicamba products since the 2022 growing season. These restrictions are valid until December 2025. The amended product labels with Minnesota-specific restrictions are available on the product manufacturer’s website (BASF, Bayer, Syngenta). If the restrictions are not part of the container label, check the company’s website 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, required for anyone applying one of the approved products, on the manufacturer’s website.
