Tuesday, Oct. 27, 2020, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced it will approve new dicamba formulations for over-the-top use for five years.

Tuesday, Corteva Agriscience announced it will be launching a new premix soybean pre-emergent herbicide for use next year. Sales of Kyber will start in November and the product includes three unique modes of action.

BASF and Bayer are each creating a new tank-mix partner for their dicamba products. Both company tank mixes focus on reducing volatility. These products will need EPA approval.

In a long-awaited announcement, the European Union Monday stated it would approve Bayer’s XtendFlex soybeans. These multi-biotech traited soybeans feature tolerance to glyphosate, dicamba and glufosinate.
