Dicamba restrictions announced for growing season

Dicamba products are limited for sale to and use by certified applicators. Applicators must comply with these and any other restrictions listed on the manufacturer’s website. Applicators must check the manufacturer’s website no more than seven days before application.
Producers were prohibited from using dicamba herbicides last year because of a 2024 court decision vacating a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) registration. The EPA on Feb. 6 announced it was re-registering the three dicamba products for the next two growing seasons, with the MDA following suit and re-registering the products for use in the state with restrictions. Pesticide product registrations are renewed on an annual basis in Minnesota.
