SDDA Seeks
Dicamba Cutoff Date
PIERRE, S.D. - The South Dakota Department of Agriculture (SDDA) has applied
for Special Local Needs registration labels,
also known as 24(c) labels, from the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for
the following products: Engenia, Fexapan
and Xtendimax with VaporGrip Technology. These labels would establish a June
30 cutoff for applications of these products in South Dakota for the 2019 growing
season. If approved, applicators could use
these products until soybeans reach the R1
growth stage, 45 days after planting or June
30, whichever comes first.“After reviewing
feedback from producers, applicators and
retailers, as well as gathering information
on drift complaints in the state over the last
two years, a June 30 cutoff date will ensure
that producers have access to this technology, while also decreasing the incidence of
drift, involving these products,” said interim
Secretary of Agriculture, Dustin Oedekoven. Anyone applying Engenia, Fexapan or
Xtendimax with VaporGrip Technology must
also abide by the restrictions included in
the EPA labels for those products, including
recordkeeping requirements. Additionally,
applicators applying or purchasing these
products will have to complete annual
dicamba specific training. The SDDA is
currently working with product companies
to schedule dicamba training for the 2019
growing season. Agriculture is a major
contributor to South Dakota’s economy,
generating $25.6 billion in annual economic
activity and employing over 115,000 South
Dakotans. The South Dakota Department of
Agriculture's mission is to promote, protect
and preserve South Dakota agriculture for
today and tomorrow. Visit them online at
sdda.sd.gov or find them on Facebook,
Instagram and Twitter.
