The Ninth Circuit Court has ruled against BASF and left in place the vacation orders for three dicamba products, Engenia, FexaPan and XtendiMax. That leaves in question any future use of those products as they’re now disallowed for further use., except for those already put in the ground and that met the EPA deadlines. American Soybean Association Board member and South Dakota grower Brandon Wipf says this is just the first round of attacks against herbicides from anti ag groups.

He expects companies like BASF and Corteva as full as others to develop future products that build on the effectiveness of dicamba and pass government scrutiny over use of those.

Wipf says it’s imperative that growers remain active and voice their concern over rulings effecting products they use whether they be herbicides or any needed agricultural tool.

The latest Ninth Circuit Court ruling leaves growers with few dicamba options with three of those four products now not registered for use.
