If you are looking for information for spraying of Xtend soybeans, you can find more info at roundupreadyxtend.com. Below is a section of a recent article that has some information concerning the continued use of the 3 herbicides in question: On June 8, 2020, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued an order in response to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit’s June 3, 2020, ruling that vacated current U.S. registrations of certain low-volatility dicamba products, including XtendiMax® Herbicide with VaporGrip® Technology. The Court ruled in favor of a petition challenging the EPA’s 2018 registration decision. The subsequent action by the EPA provides, among other things, that “growers and commercial applicators may use existing stocks that were in their possession on June 3, 2020, the effective date of the Court decision. Such use must be consistent with the product’s previously-approved label, and may not continue after July 31, 2020.”
