BREAKING: Ninth Circuit vacates certain dicamba registrations

DTN is reporting that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit has vacated three registrations for dicamba herbicides. From the story:

When asked what this ruling means for legal use of dicamba in 2020, an EPA spokesperson could only tell DTN by email that "EPA is currently reviewing the court decision and will move promptly to address the Court's directive."

At least one dicamba registrant, Bayer, has vowed to fight the ruling and try to mute its effect on farmers this growing season.

"We strongly disagree with the ruling and are assessing our options," a company statement emailed to DTN said. "If the ruling stands, we will work quickly to minimize any impact on our customers this season. Our top priority is making sure our customers have the support they need to have a successful season."
