Soybean Association Addresses Dicamba Use

The American Soybean Association released a statement last week on dicamba use and dicamba-related damage to soybean crops. 
 
ASA President Ron Moore says ASA is invested in bringing all parties together to find answers and solutions. In his statement, Moore says the first step in the process is for all parties to determine whether the reported damage is from dicamba or other potential causes. If injury from dicamba spray is indeed the root cause, he says, farmers next need to understand how the damage happened. 
 
Moore says” "We need all parties at the table to establish answers to these and other questions so that proper action can be taken to both protect crops, and protect access to this technology." 
 
He says the discussion is larger than one specific product, saying farmers need and want new modes of action for wee control, but also “need assurance that their own and their neighbors' crops aren't going to be damaged as a result of normal and label-compliant product use.”
