The South Dakota Department of Agriculture will soon officially release the label and application rules for dicamba use next year.
Secretary Mike Jaspers says they will adopt the restricted use label established by the EPA
Jaspers says using a hypothetical example, with typical weather, and a June 30th cut off for application, conditions would be ideal only five percent of that time. So, he says they will focus on specialized training from the manufacturers
Jaspers says one change that was not a state label condition for dicamba this year is the restricted use reporting. It will be mandated next year
Jaspers says they have been waiting to approve the label until they had more information on use of the product.
