As Nebraska producers prepare for the 2026 growing season, understanding and following the updated over-the-top (OTT) dicamba application requirements for dicamba-tolerant soybean is essential for both regulatory compliance and ensuring safe, responsible pesticide applications. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) time-limited registrations for Engenia® (BASF), Tavium® Plus VaporGrip® Technology (Syngenta) and Stryax™ (Bayer) include strengthened safeguards such as temperature-based cutoffs, acreage limitations during elevated forecast conditions, mandatory volatility- and drift-reduction measures, runoff and erosion mitigation requirements, and annual applicator training.
