North Dakota’s farmers now have until July 10 to spray dicamba herbicide if their crops aren’t in the reproductive or R-1 stage. State Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring made that determination based on several factors and the fact it’s been an unusually cool and wet planting season this year.

He says while the cut off date has been moved to July 10, if the crop is in that R-1 stage you’re not allowed to apply dicamba.

Goehring says normally they don’t like to allow dicamba application into July but this year’s unusual conditions have led to the need for the extension.

There are currently four herbicides available for in crop dicamba applications and those are XtendiMax (extend—ee-max), Engenia, FeXapan and Tavlum.
