After a U.S. District Court vacated the registrations of certain dicamba herbicides, growers must find new ways to manage their weed control through a 3 step process.
Surtain herbicide, the first solid encapsulated premix formulated product on the market, has received registration from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and is now approved for use, subject to state approvals.
Mitigations are being proposed as a means to offset potential risks associated with pesticide registration and ensure compliance with the Endangered Species Act (ESA).
“If you have an endangered species in your state, county or on your farm, the herbicide labels you used in the past will likely be changing,” says a spokesman for the Weed Science Society of America (WSSA).
The proposed herbicide strategy was released in July 2023 and outlined the EPA’s plan for meeting ESA obligations with respect to herbicide drift, runoff and/or erosion.
The consensus among critics is that the EPA's draft herbicide strategy, if implemented, could pose significant challenges for farmers and jeopardize the viability of farming operations across the U.S.
