BASF Applies to EPA for Approval of Engenia
BASF is seeking EPA approval of its dicamba herbicide product, Engenia, for use in soybean and cotton, according to a Federal Register notice. The agency is accepting comments on the proposed label for 30 days. Bayer already has submitted a proposed label for XtendiMax, its dicamba product. By yesterday’s deadline, there were 232 comments in the docket.
The companies must apply because a federal judge vacated the registrations of the three dicamba products in February. The other herbicide is Tavium, made by Syngenta. All were registered for use in soybean and cotton.
