Syngenta has submitted a proposed label for a new product containing dicamba and S-metolachlor. It is the third manufacturer to seek registration for a dicamba-based product since labels were vacated earlier this year. BASF and Bayer also have requested registration.
Soybean label
The proposed soybean label would allow application to dicamba-tolerant soybeans before, during, and immediately after planting. Over-the-top applications through the V2 stage, but no later than June 12, would also be allowed.
Cotton label
The proposed cotton label would allow application before, during, and immediately after planting. Over-the-top applications would also be allowed through the six-leaf growth stage but no later than July 30.
Public comment period
Because the application involves a new use pattern for dicamba, the EPA is providing a 30-day public comment period on the registration application consistent with the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). The EPA also seeks comment on the associated draft labeling Syngenta submitted, which is available in the docket.
The last day to submit a comment on the proposed registration and label is August 22. To read more about the registration application proposed by Syngenta and submit a comment, see docket EPA-HQ-OPP-2024-0154 on Regulations.gov.
