Episode 287: How to Use Dicamba in 2026

Three different dicamba herbicide products are making a comeback in 2026 with new labels and new rules for use from EPA. 

Whether farmers are aiming to use BASF’s Engenia, Syngenta’s Tavium, or Bayer's newly-renamed Stryax products, there are some changes that farmers and their applicators need to be aware of. 

That’s why today, DTN Crops Editor Jason Jenkins is here to walk us through the very latest updates on the legal use of dicamba products. He’ll talk us through what’s changed on the labels — from temperature restrictions to acid equivalence per acre limitations — and what’s stayed the same, especially in terms of safety precautions.

Then, he’ll clarify some of the recent confusion around the annual maximum usage amounts, and talk us through some state-specific regulations that sit on top of the federal label in specific geographies.

Finally, we’ll learn more about the new Endangered Species Act points system that’s rolling out this year, and talk about where farmers can get more information about staying in compliance and using these products safely.
