Dicamba registration narrowed


 

Health Canada is narrowing the registration of dicamba sprayed on dicamba-resistant crops.


Bayer is a company that markets soybeans with combined resistance to dicamba and Roundup.


The new restriction bans spraying soybeans with dicamba after they are growing, rendering largely useless.


Bayer said it stands behind the safety of dicamba.

Dicamba controls broadleaf weeds, including those resistant to Roundup. It is widely used by Canadian farmers.
