Add tank additives to the list of requirements necessary when spraying dicamba in Xtend-tolerant crops this year. EPA labels now require the use of an approved volatility reduction agent, often called a VRA, for applications of Engenia, Tavium and XtendiMax.
 
"This is not an optional inclusion," said BASF Technical Marketing Manager Tracy Rowlandson. "Every application must now include the addition of an approved pH buffering adjuvant."
 
There's also a recordkeeping component to the new rules. The name of the VRA used and the use rate must be entered into spray application records.
 
A separate drift reduction agent (DRA) may also be required if an applicator wants to tank mix other active ingredients, such as herbicides or biologicals, with XtendiMax, Engenia or Tavium.
