Are you planting dicamba-tolerant (Xtend or XtendFlex Technology) soybeans in 2021? If so, one of the tools in the weed control toolbox will be the option to use one of the three registered dicamba herbicides for use on Xtend or XtendFlex soybeans. In October 2020, the EPA approved a five year registration of XtendiMax and Engenia herbicides. It also extended the registration of Tavium herbicide. Xtendimax, Engenia and Tavium are currently the only dicamba products registered for over-the-top use in dicamba-tolerant soybeans in New York State. There are several updates and changes to the New York labels that can be found on the Cornell Field Crops Blogs. If you have questions about soybean production in 2021, contact Josh Putman at 716-490-5572 or jap473@cornell.edu
