Vacated Dicamba Registration and Pending Enlist Lawsuit

Click here for an article by DTN Staff Reporter Emily Unglesbee that provides a summary of the court ruling that vacated the registrations of dicamba herbicides and how that ruling compares to a pending lawsuit that challenges the registration of Enlist Duo herbicide. The article also contains links to articles that address weed control options without dicamba.

These rulings/pending legal actions have far-reaching ramifications for soybean producers who were depending on these Group 4 herbicides to enhance control of problematic weeds that plague soybeans. This is another example of the hurdles that new technology that is developed to help crop producers can be waylaid by an uninformed general population and the U.S. court system.
