EPA will allow growers to use formerly registered dicamba formulations on cotton and soybeans this growing season, after hearing from numerous farm groups worried that last week's court decision vacating the registrations would cut off access to the herbicide.

EPA wants to give growers credit for implementing Natural Resources Conservation Service practices as part of the agency’s effort to protect endangered species.

A federal judge has vacated 2020 registrations of dicamba, a herbicide that has been embroiled in controversy ever since it was first approved in 2016 because of the off-target damage it has caused.

Corteva and Syngenta, two major seed and crop protection companies, reported lower overall sales for their third quarters but higher sales of seeds, as they look to navigate what one of their CEOs called “complicating geopolitical, macroeconomic and ag-specific factors.”

A federal appeals court says it doesn’t have jurisdiction over a challenge to dicamba registrations brought by soybean and cotton growers, leaving the herbicide's fate in the hands of a pair of district courts entertaining somewhat differing lawsuits.

EPA pesticide officials “rushed to re-approve over-the-top dicamba uses” in 2020 to satisfy demands from senior political appointees in the Trump administration, environmental groups and the National Family Farm Coalition said in the latest filings in their court challenge to continued use of the herbicide.

Sales of Enlist seeds and herbicides have helped drive sales growth for Corteva Agriscience, which reported net sales of nearly $2.8 billion in the third quarter, up 17% from the same period a year ago.
