Glyphosate-resistant waterhemp is increasing in frequency in Auglaize County, Ohio. But others expressed confidence that companies will succeed with new registrations. Unfortunately, herbicide resistance in waterhemp is widespread to the herbicide groups active on this weed: Group 2 (ALS inhibitors), 9 (glyphosate) and … "We have several formulations at different stages of the pipeline," she said. Most growers will probably be unable to get product for all their fields. Instead of taking two weeks, it's closer to 10 days before they start putting on two inches of growth a day again.". Chemical Class and Type: Dicamba is a selective pre- and post-emergent herbicide. His research program is focused on improved understanding of weed biology and ecology to develop effective, integrated weed management strategies in corn and soybean production systems of ... Meaghan Anderson is a field agronomist in central Iowa and an extension field specialist at Iowa State University Extension and Outreach. While we are not aware of the supply of Tavium, we suspect Syngenta only has enough product for a fraction of Xtend acres. "I'm afraid we've lost dicamba in cotton and beans for the near future," said Keith Peters, who grows corn, wheat and soybeans south of Columbus, Ohio. For some of those waterhemp populations, even a second full rate of dicamba did not provide full control. All rights reserved. Numerous herbicides registered for postemergence use on Xtend soybean have excellent activity on important weeds of Iowa’s soybean fields. (DTN) -- With 60 million acres of Xtend cotton and soybeans and rising herbicide-resistance problems across the crop spectrum, dicamba use in U.S. agriculture is at or near record heights this year. "They vacated the soybean labels; they might come after the corn labels next," said Illinois's Foes. Please correct the following errors and try again: We've detected that you are using an unsupported browser. Brooklet, Ga. (October 27, 2020) — At the Cromley Farm, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Andrew Wheeler announced that EPA is approving new five-year registrations for two dicamba products and extending the registration of an additional dicamba product.All three registrations include new control measures to ensure these products can be used … Thousands of waterhemp seedlings are usually found in a small area as this weed can produce as many as 1 million seeds per plant.Figure 2Waterhemp plants have hairless stems and long lance-shaped leaves that are waxy or glossy in appearance.Waterhemp, Amaranthus rudis, is a summer annual weed in the pigweed family that is found throughout the … In this trial 10 to 20% of the waterhemp were resistant to glyphosate based upon the glyphosate only treatment. Mechanical weed control is not a desirable option for most, but farmers with Xtend planted in 30” rows should consider the feasibility of interrow cultivation. No. Join the community! In an emailed statement, Corteva told DTN that any future registration of FeXapan depends on a successful XtendiMax re-registration, but said it was "too early to speculate" on whether they would work to make FeXapan available in 2021. Large farms probably can’t cover all their acres with a cultivator, but fields could be prioritized based on weediness. There was good news when his Illinois research team treated glyphosate-resistant waterhemp with new formulations using dicamba. Figure 1Close-up of a waterhemp seedling. Non-tolerant soybean foliage when exposed to a sublethal rate of dicamba 2 weeks after treatment. Unfortunately, herbicide resistance in waterhemp is widespread to the herbicide groups active on this weed: Group 2 (ALS inhibitors), 9 (glyphosate) and 14 (PPO inhibitors). “Treatments that make the biggest droplet sizes in nozzle-adjuvant combinations are just as effective at controlling the waterhemp as are the smaller droplets.” Registration is FREE. Dicamba, the active ingredient in several name-brand herbicides, has been used on Iowa farms for decades to control broad-leaved weeds, including waterhemp. "I don't quite see how you could possibly issue new post-emergent use labels, and not run into the same problems," said Bob Hartzler, Iowa State University weed scientist, whose state is grappling with widespread off-target dicamba crop injury this summer. ROCKVILLE, Md. A new registration for these dicamba herbicides would stand as EPA's third attempt to revise their labels, which already contain some of the most complex use instructions of any pesticide. The nation's first COVID-19 vaccine will begin arriving in states Monday morning, U.S. officials said Saturday, after the government gave the final... Ethanol producers are facing margins pressure as plants continue to expand production while domestic demand has fallen. Get … wondered Justin Honebrink, a farmer from Deer Creek, Minnesota. Dicamba use in corn has increased in recent years due to the spread of waterhemp biotypes resistant to Group 5 herbicides (atrazine), Group 9 herbicides (glyphosate) and Group 27 herbicides (HPPD inhibitors). 7969-345, BASF), and DuPontT… That's too much risk for the industry to tolerate. This summer, many alleged dicamba drift cases are quickly turning into suspected resistance cases for Tennessee's Steckel. Weeds themselves are evolving as a threat to the technology, as well. Kentucky Soybeans: Dicamba Alternatives for Palmer Pigweed, Waterhemp Control. "We remain 100% committed to the Xtend system and that includes our seeds, our traits and our herbicides," Alex Zenteno, Bayer dicamba product manager, told DTN. ", Samp's fear was echoed by many. The … Preemergence herbicides appear to be providing effective control in most soybean fields at this time, but timeliness of application of the Group 14 herbicide will be critical. (c) Copyright 2020 DTN, LLC. "So any decision regarding [registrations] does not have much of an impact on our operation.". "It really depends on who you talk to," pointed out Iowa State University field agronomist Meaghan Anderson. Before the registrations were vacated in June, EPA officials had said they were aiming to make a re-registration decision on these herbicides by early fall, in time for farmers to buy seeds. When combined with glyphosate, dicamba gave 30 percent to 65 percent better control over glyphosate-resistant palmer amaranth, waterhemp, horseweed and giant ragweed compared to glyphosate alone. Copyright © 2020 Iowa State University of Science and Technology. Yeah. "It seems like they are recovering quicker from dicamba applications than ever before. Numerous herbicides registered for postemergence use on Xtend soybean have excellent activity on important weeds of Iowa’s soybean fields. Subscribe to receive email alerts when new information is posted. It is difficult to track the percentage of fields with waterhemp resistant to these herbicides, but our estimates would be: Group 2: >95%; Group 9: >75%; Group 14: >50%. "DTN" and the degree symbol logo are trademarks of DTN. Depending on the environment most preemergence herbicides suppress waterhemp and Palmer emergence for … University of Illinois Extension Weed Scientist Aaron Hager on the efficacy of dicamba on waterhemp. 4 Unfortunately, this court ruling came at a bad time for Iowa soybean farmers. Bayer also heard "a lot of need and support" from farmers for continued in-season dicamba use, Zenteno said. Group 14 herbicides should be applied as soon as waterhemp is found in a field, and a Group 15 herbicide (acetochlor, dimethenamid, pyroxasulfone, S-metolachlor) should be included to provide residual control after the POST application. "This year I'm growing some XtendFlex soybeans for increase," he said of Bayer's forthcoming 3-way herbicide-tolerant soybean stack. Banning farmers from using dicamba against … Managing Herbicide-Resistant Waterhemp in Dicamba-Resistant Soybean. Now samples he sent to Texas Tech University are showing the ability to survive 2.5 times the labeled rate of dicamba. Of the alternatives available, we believe a Group 14 herbicide (acifluorfen, fomesafen, lactofen) has a better chance of controlling waterhemp than glyphosate due to the greater prevalence of glyphosate-resistant waterhemp. June 10, 2020 By Travis Legleiter, University of Kentucky Extension Weed Science Specialist. When a trio of federal judges handed down their decision to vacate three dicamba registrations on June 3, they made the unusual decision to immediately issue a mandate, which legally ended the registrations of Xtendimax, Engenia and FeXapan that same day. He's betting on Bayer's future traits, which will widen the post-emergence chemical options. We knew that we needed to use the technology to control weeds. "These are populations we might have killed [with one spray] two years ago, and this year, we're not," he said. "We aren't sure how our pesticide registration agency will look at this," he noted. Farther north, weed scientists are watching waterhemp escapes with growing alarm. Dicamba certainly can provide better control of herbicide-resistant ragweeds than can glyphosate or ALS inhibitors. Blog Post. Therefore, we will assess other control methods for herbicide-resistant weeds, such as waterhemp. Tweet. “Waterhemp and Palmer amaranth should be on every farmer’s radar. "The dicamba drift that hit my field [this year] went a half a mile. "We have at least a half-dozen fields we're investigating for dicamba control problems with waterhemp," said Purdue University Extension weed … That means the weeds can survive up to 2.5 times the labeled rates of dicamba. "We will not speculate on the timing of completion of that review, nor on potential commercialization plans," Corteva's statement to DTN said. "It feels like this is just the beginning and we are going to have a lot more options being pulled out from under us just as we get ready to use them.". More later applications of dicamba corn formulations occurred due to waterhemp resisting Group 5 (atrazine), Group 9 (glyphosate), and Group 27 herbicides (HPPD inhibitors like Callisto). 2150 Beardshear Hall COVID-19 is an emerging, rapidly evolving situation. Some scientists and farmers in the South and Midwest are noting a decline in the efficacy of dicamba on key herbicide-resistant weeds, particularly Palmer amaranth and waterhemp. At this time, Tavium plus Vapor Grip Technology (dicamba + S-metolachlor) is not affected by the court ruling since it received registration after the lawsuit was filed. Emily Unglesbee can be reached at Emily.unglesbee@dtn.com, Follow her on Twitter at @Emily_Unglesbee. ", Some wonder if dicamba use in other crops will come under scrutiny. Within five days, EPA had issued cancellation orders for the three herbicides. In ’17, there were some growers that planted dicamba beans, so there was a shift to those beans. "We do have some formulations already submitted with EPA, and others in product concept stages." The dicamba-tolerant Xtend trait, however, remains available for sale and planting, leaving growers with few legal options to treat Xtend acres next year. Share. Minimizing weed seed production is imperative, and we can’t rely on post applications only.” Nagel notes that resistance has now been documented in waterhemp to seven different site-of-action herbicides, including dicamba … We have stressed the need for integrated weed management systems for several years, this is a shocking wakeup call showing how fragile our herbicide-based production system is. Zenteno said Bayer experienced "an incredible outpouring of support" from members of the agricultural community for the dicamba-tolerant crop system after the court's ruling on June 3. "Enlist E3 beans will fast become the norm if anything happens to dicamba here. As farmers fret and the EPA evaluates new dicamba registrations once again, scientists are finding that the target of these herbicides -- weeds -- are evolving in problematic ways. ", Some farmers are already planning on moving to other herbicide-tolerant platforms, given the court decision. "It isn't hard to go from a dicamba drift case to fields nearby and see live and dead Palmer amaranth out there," he said. Reduced rates of dicamba may be applied by directed application later in the growing season, which may help suppress waterhemp growth and seed production. It's not clear if that timeline still stands, as EPA did not respond to DTN's multiple requests for comments. Dicamba, the active ingredient in several name-brand herbicides, has been used in Iowa for decades to control broad-leaved weeds, including waterhemp. These options are the Group 14 herbicides, which include Flexstar (fomesafen), Cobra (lactofen) or Ultra Blazer (acifluorfen). ", For farmers who haven't seen many dicamba problems in their region, the court decision seems unfair and alarming. ©Debra L Ferguson . These weeds are growing, waterhemp can grow up to two inches per … Dr. Hartzler also teaches undergraduate classes in weed science and weed identificatio... Prashant Jha is an Associate Professor and Extension Weed Specialist with the Department of Agronomy at ISU. Some scientists and farmers in the South and Midwest are noting a decline in the efficacy of dicamba on key herbicide-resistant weeds, particularly Palmer amaranth and waterhemp. Corteva Agriscience, which owns a major competitive trait, 2,4-D-tolerant Enlist crops, licenses a dicamba formulation from Bayer, which it markets as FeXapan. "I'm probably going to switch to Liberty[Link].". Bayer and BASF are appealing a $325 million jury judgement for dicamba damage to a peach orchard in Missouri, and Bayer has proposed committing $400 million to settle dicamba injury claims from 2015 through 2020. Waterhemp – It is safe to assume that any waterhemp is resistant to ALS-inhibiting (Group 2) herbicides. 8-32 characters, include one number (0-9) and one letter (a-z), By clicking Create Account, you agree to our, Save DTNPF to your home screen: Tap on the arrow and then select, US Says COVID-19 Vaccine To Start Arriving In States Monday, Ethanol Production Continues to Rise as Domestic Demand Falls, Increase yields and savings with precision weather. Before the widespread evolution of glyphosate-resistance in waterhemp, glyphosate was considered by many weed scientists to be an excellent herbicide against waterhemp. Addressing Waterhemp In Soybean Acres Without Dicamba. And for some, their preferred soybean genetics still outweigh herbicide options. Any future labels would presumably have to solve all those issues to avoid a similar legal challenge in the future, scientists and farmers have noted. State & National Extension Partners. Grow your production, efficiencies, and profitability. Follow all recommendations on the Group 14 label to maximize effectiveness, including carrier volume, nozzle type, spray pressure, spray additives, and sprayer speed. Bayer is also working on new dicamba formulations, Zenteno told DTN. ... including species such as Palmer amaranth or waterhemp that can easily out-compete soybean and reduce yield by more than 50% if left uncontrolled. The company is expecting final import approval any day for its XtendFlex soybeans, which will tolerate dicamba, glyphosate and glufosinate, and are poised for a 2021 commercialization. Dicamba treatments postemergence improved control of velvetleaf, smooth pigweed, morning glory and waterhemp. Some Tennessee cotton growers are finding that, even after burndown and preemergence herbicide use, they have to follow two postemergence dicamba applications in cotton fields with a third postemergence application of glufosinate in order to clean up weeds, with total weed control costs nearing $90 per acre, he said. For the past few years, Corteva has been quietly testing a novel dicamba formulation with a handful of university scientists, with the aim of lower volatility. Where it maybe fits: Waterhemp. Not surprisingly, the industry is working behind the scenes on newer formulations that could someday replace the very products Bayer and BASF are currently fighting to keep. Several agronomists have reported dicamba being used for late postemergence applications after earlier treatments performed poorly. This spring, Steckel found that pigweed dicamba escapes collected in his state in 2019 could survive a labeled rate of dicamba herbicides. The company has also submitted a new tank additive for registration to EPA for use with the herbicide. In interviews with farmers, DTN found more mixed responses, with varying attitudes illustrating the stark disagreements over dicamba use that the Ninth Circuit Court highlighted in its decision. "Going forward, I think people are looking at it for early postemergence or burndown scenarios.". Bayer and BASF have rushed to submit final data to the EPA for new registrations for their chemicals. Several agronomists have reported dicamba being used for late postemergence applications after earlier treatments performed poorly. Despite these threats to the chemical's future, Bayer is doubling down on its dicamba-tolerant trait system. Glyphosate-resistance is also present on most acres, though not all plants will be resistant. Share. As a member of the DTNPF online community you can contribute to discussions, save your settings, get exclusive email alerts and access to special online sections, and read e-newsletters. Later in the decade, the company is aiming to commercialize both 4-way and 5-way herbicide-tolerant corn that includes dicamba tolerance. Up to two applications of dicamba are now required to control those populations. Bayer's Zenteno declined to speculate on whether any new XtendiMax label might be limited to pre-emergence use or contain additional use restrictions. "We have not changed that stance. Dicamba is often the tank-mix partner of choice for other postemergence herbicides that may be somewhat weak on waterhemp. All other trademarks are the properties of their respective owners. Some farmers told DTN the court decision was a relief in some ways, given the chemicals' four-year history of volatility risks. "If you look at that court decision, it doesn't sound like dicamba has much of a leg to stand on for postemergence application," agreed Sheffield, Illinois, farmer Matt Foes. Greenhouse tests show that some of the populations can survive labeled rates of both dicamba and 2,4-D. "While we plant Xtend beans, because that's where we believe some of the best genetics are, we do not spray dicamba -- it just isn't worth the risk," said Genny Haun, who farms near Kenton, Ohio. "Part of me was happy they pulled the labels, because it was making it really difficult to be a good neighbor," explained Kyle Samp, who farms in Randolph County, Missouri. Aimee Bissell never planned to farm, but a combine is now her office in the fall. The weedkiller is … Waterhemp and Palmer amaranth There are a few options for POST control of waterhemp or Palmer amaranth if they are present in Roundup Ready 2 Xtend soybean and dicamba cannot be used. ", BASF did not grant an interview to DTN on its registration efforts, and would only say in an emailed statement: "We have recently resubmitted the registration package for Engenia herbicide for EPA review that includes all relevant data needed by the agency to make a registration decision this fall. I've had to hoe beans in the past, and I would really like to avoid doing that in the future. Waterhemp had only displayed resistance 2,4-D in two other states before this discovery: Illinois and Nebraska. Bayer told DTN it has nearly completed all its data submissions to EPA supporting a new registration for XtendiMax. "I'm glad to see dicamba exiting as a management option," said Mark Nowak, who grows corn and soybeans in Faribault County, Minnesota. 2,3 The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) name for the acid form is 3,6-dichloro-2-methoxybenzoic acid and the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) registry number is 1918-00-9. Dicamba has high mobility in soil (K oc = 3.5–21) and may enter surface and groundwater as a result (Health Canada, 2007a, 2007b; EFSA, 2011; U.S. EPA, 2016). 1 It is classified as either a benzoic acid or chlorophenoxy herbicide. So what are the most effective options to manage waterhemp? "Ultimately, it will be up to EPA to address the [Ninth Circuit] Court's concerns," she said. A new tool is now available for weed control for soybean growers called Xtend (dicamba-resistant) soybean. Another potential volatility-reducing tank additive for use with dicamba herbicides is under development at the University of Arkansas. Leaves are cupped with the bottom edges curved towards the top surface of the leaves. Now is the time to determine what products are available and begin scouting fields to prioritize which fields need treated earliest. "I like the weed control [of dicamba], but not the risk," as one southeast Michigan farmer, Raymond Simpkins, put it. But for the 2021 season, XtendiMax, along with the newly submitted tank additive product, is the only product Bayer aims to have available, she added. The most pressing question facing farmers and the industry is whether two companies, BASF and Bayer, will be able to get new registrations approved for XtendiMax and Engenia, two over-the-top dicamba herbicides whose registrations were vacated by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in early June. "We're seeing increased use in corn recently and therefore, more damage from it. Dicamba has long been used in agricultural and nonagricultural herbicide products. "If I had to guess, I'd say dicamba will be re-registered," said Charles Williams, who farms near Crawfordsville, Arkansas, where dicamba use is banned after May 25. Dr. Bob Hartzler is a professor of agronomy and an extension weed specialist. What those labels could look like is another critical question for farmers. Dicamba is an example of an herbicide that spends time in your soil after doing its toxic duty. "And we feel that with all the information we're submitting to EPA, they'll be able to address the concerns the court has brought up," she added. ", The company added that it has also submitted for registration, "a combination product that includes dicamba and other active ingredients for over-the-top use on soybeans and cotton.". Application of dicamba-based herbicides such as Clarity, DiFlexx, DiFlexx DUO, and Status, has increased in corn in recent years primarily for control of glyphosate-resistant and hard-to-control broadleaf weeds such as common waterhemp, Palmer amaranth, and marestail. The new dicamba herbicide technologies have proven to be both beneficial and challenging: When they work as intended, they can be an excellent tool for combating herbicide-resistant weeds such as Palmer amaranth, tall waterhemp and marestail in soybean fields. "It is definitely translating to the field," he said. We've been exposing Palmer amaranth to dicamba for a long time, at fairly low rates.". Whether the three herbicides will be re-registered is only part of the 2021 dicamba equation, however. (800) 262-3804, Iowa State University ", THE STATUS OF THREE VACATED DICAMBA REGISTRATIONS. Dicamba is highly soluble and does not adsorb onto sediment or other organic particles in water, allowing residues to be easily moved by water (Health Canada, 2007a, 2007b, 2008). Spraying waterhemp between 0.5 and 1.5 inches in height is ideal. Glyphosate or other appropriate tank mix partners should be included in the mix to broaden the spectrum of weeds controlled. They specifically mentioned widespread off-target movement, complicated labels that inspired non-compliance, anti-competitive seed buying decisions as farmers sought to protect themselves from drift, and tension and conflict among farmers and their neighbors over alleged injury. Bayer's Zenteno described it as a "volatility-reducing agent. "But I'm pretty worried about how this affects the future not just for new chemistry but for existing chemistry. For example, waterhemp routinely emerges as late as July and August and often in glyphosate-resistant form. Therefore, we will assess other control methods for herbicide-resistant weeds, such as waterhemp. FARMERS WAIT AND WONDER -- AND CONSIDER OTHER TRAITS. Winter finds her deep into data analysis. “We had effective weed control with all the treatments,” he says. Email. © 2020 DTN, all rights reserved. Dicamba | C8H6Cl2O3 | CID 3030 - structure, chemical names, physical and chemical properties, classification, patents, literature, biological activities, safety/hazards/toxicity information, supplier lists, and more. Not all features of DTN / The Progressive Farmer may function as expected. Thus, the repeal of the dicamba label leaves many farmers no effective postemergence herbicides for multiple-resistant waterhemp in Xtend soybean fields. The Iowa State University ICM blog (June 5) covered the issue of waterhemp control in the absence of dicamba: “ Of the alternatives available, we believe a Group 14 herbicide (acifluorfen, fomesafen, lactofen) has a better chance of controlling waterhemp than glyphosate due to the greater prevalence of glyphosate-resistant waterhemp.
