The chairman of the Save Our Crops Coalition says specialty crop growers are worried they’ll face more challenges this year with off-target movement of dicamba.
Last year 10 states reported damage from dicamba in parts of the Corn Belt and Mid-south.
Steve Smith, director of agriculture for Indiana-based Red Gold tomatoes says there is no residue tolerance for dicamba on all food crops. “Any off-target movement doesn’t just result in yield loss, it results in crop destruction,” he says.
