USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service is seeking comments on approval of a corn variety genetically engineered to resist western corn rootworm and glufosinate-ammonium herbicides.
Nearly 800 comments submitted to EPA on its dicamba ecological and human health risk assessments split widely on the herbicide’s value to American agriculture.
Bioengineered food ingredients are safe for consumers, the Food and Drug Administration reiterated in a collection of educational materials released Thursday as part of a congressionally funded initiative.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 13, 2017 – EPA has added new conditions for dicamba use in the 2018 growing season in response to widespread damage to soybeans attributed to the herbicide this year. The changes, which were proposed by manufacturers, will allow continued “over the top” use of the herbicide on cotton and soybeans in 34 states.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 30, 2017 – The Environmental Protection Agency is considering adopting new label language for dicamba herbicides to reduce the potential for soybean damage, estimated this season at more than 3 million acres throughout the South and Midwest.
