  19. Off-Target Dicamba Problems
  20. Dicamba Perspective – 2018 Only 4 “official” complaints to GA Dept. of Ag and no dicamba residues were detected (1-blueberry, 1-soybean, 2-non-DT cotton). I am personally aware of 24 “incidents” that were handled between 2 parties involved (1-tobacco, 8-soybean, 9-peanut, 4-cotton, 1-crepe myrtle, 1-apple). More than last year for me. Got to keep working on this!
  21. Important Dicamba Label Updates for 2019 - Soybean Xtendimax, Fexapan, Engenia formulations Only certified applicators can purchase and apply Records generated within 72 hours of application and kept for 2 years Minimum of 15 GPA POST applications no later than R1 or 45 DAP Only 2 POST applications can be made (7 days apart) Sensitive crops must be surveyed and documented Sensitive crop/residential areas downwind – DO NOT APPLY Applications between 1 hour after sunrise to 2 hours before sunset 110’ downwind buffer + 57’ omni-direction buffer around other sides of field in counties where endangered dicot species exist Additional clean-out instructions/warnings Spray mixture pH > 5.0
