A Monsanto official is applauding a decision by an Arkansas legislative subcommittee which refused to approve a proposed April 15th cut-off date for dicamba applications.
Scott Partridge tells Brownfield the Arkansas State Plant Board’s April 15th cut-off was essentially a ban on use of dicamba.
“It’s clear that the message coming from the legislative committee is that the Plant Board needs to actually look at the science, study it carefully, look at what’s being done in surrounding states, and come up with a solution that enables the growers in their state to have access to this important technology during the growing season,” Partridge says.
