Dicamba Herbicide Updates



Dicamba containing herbicides, including new formulations such as XtendiMax with VaporGrip Technology (EPA Reg. No. 524-617), Engenia Herbicide (EPA Reg. No. 7969-345), and FeXapan Herbicide Plus VaporGrip Technology (EPA Reg. No. 352-913) have been in the news recently based on off-target movement (drift) complaints being filed with pesticide regulatory officials in Indiana and other states.

This website is intended to provide interested parties with the most up to date information related to the status of those complaints and the regulatory activities associated with dicamba herbicides in Indiana.
