A federal dicamba label is in
place, but an Illinois weed scientist says pursuing a state label will be in
the hands of the newly appointed administration at the state department of
agriculture.
Aaron Hager with the University of Illinois says several states have already filed for 24-C status on the dicamba label.
“That would allow the state to actually impose a date beyond which foliar applications of dicamba could not be made in dicamba resistant soybean.”
Hager tells Brownfield that Illinois has not pursued a 24-C label for a cut-off date the last two years, but the upcoming change in administration could change that.
