Dicamba product labels require applicators to check for nearby sensitive crops and sensitive areas and follow label precautions.  To help accomplish this, IFCA is recommending using Driftwatch/Fieldwatch website for the location of specialty crops and go the IDNR website to see areas designated for threatened and endangered species and other protected areas of the State.

Visit dnr.illinois.gov and search for “Chemical-Drift-Awareness-Areas.”
