  6. EPA set to reapprove #dicamba — previously banned by courts. The EPA has approved dicamba twice before (for over-the-top use on #GMO dicamba-tolerant crops), and both times federal courts vacated those approvals, saying the risk of drift and harm to neighboring farms and gardens was too great. washingtonpost.com/climate-env

  7. From Industry to EPA: Lobbyist Now Oversees Pesticide Rules! Kyle Kunkler was the top lobbyist for the US soybean industry, boasting of helping to keep the controversial herbicide #dicamba in use on #GMO crops. Now he's helping keep it in use at the EPA! nytimes.com/2025/10/21/climate

    #KyleKunkler fought for a restricted #weedkiller that can harm plants and wildlife when it drifts to nearby land.
    Until recently, Kyle Kunkler was the top lobbyist for America’s #soybean industry. In that job he once boasted of helping to keep a controversial weedkiller called #dicamba in use.
    He’s now at the E.P.A., which wants to allow its use.

  13. EPA’s move to greenlight controversial #dicamba herbicide sparks outrage. “This is what happens when pesticide oversight is controlled by industry lobbyists. Corporate fat cats get their payday and everyone else suffers the consequences.” — Dr Nathan Donley thenewlede.org/2025/07/epa-mov

  14. #EPA Proposes Allowing Use of #Dicamba #Weedkiller on Some #Crops
    Last year, federal court made certain uses of dicamba illegal after #farmers complained it drifts into neighboring fields, damaging their crops. Ban was scheduled to take full effect this year.
    EPA, which reviewed dicamba’s uses and found it poses no risk to human health, is now accepting public comment on its proposed decision. It will then decide whether to greenlight the products.

    The sad excuse for an EPA seeks to be a federal death agency under the Trump Regime.

    Per WAPO, the MAGA EPA irresponsibly seeks to put the controversial banned Monsanto herbicide dicamba back on the capitalist US market.

    The previously banned drift-prone crop poison is used on cotton and soybean fields, on millions of acres. My state of Vermont farms soybeans, and was involved in having dicamba outlawed twice this decade.

  16. Pesticide mixtures linked to significant rise in childhood cancers, study of US state of Nebraska (biggest crops: corn and soy) says. #Dicamba, #glyphosate, paraquat, quizalofop, triasulfuron, and tefluthrin largely contributed to the joint association. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.co

  17. US beekeepers discussing the catastrophic losses happening in the commercial beekeeping industry. It's estimated current winter loss rates are averaging as high as 70%-80%. They finger pesticides as a key factor and discuss how Roundup use exploded in the '90s, with Roundup Ready crops, not only wiping out lots more wildflowers but triggering resistance which then led to use of herbicides like #dicamba, causing off-target drift and disrupting plant–pollinator interactions youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&

  18. We also have the latest on two lots of lawsuits weighing on @Bayer - #Monsanto — the Roundup ones costing the company billions and the #PCB ones that just keep coming! We finish with a section on OTHER PESTICIDES that includes the latest on the #dicamba disaster and toxic #neonics. gmwatch.org/en/main-menu/news-

  19. Disturbingly, this pattern of #dicamba use has unfolded while the total herbicide applied to soybeans has nearly doubled since 2006. Without substantive changes to agricultural policy, the next ‘silver-bullet’ will likely be no more than another step on the #GMO-facilitated #herbicide treadmill.

  20. Stopping the Transgene-Facilitated Herbicide Treadmill. #GMO dicamba-resistant crops were meant to overcome #glyphosate-resistance. But the dramatic increase in #dicamba use led to serious problems including dicamba-resistant weeds and widespread damage. biosafety-info.net/articles/tr

  21. #Bayer asks #EPA to again approve twice-banned weed killer #dicamba for use on #GMO crops. Farmers not planting Bayer's dicamba-tolerant GMO crops have registered thousands of complaints across multiple key US farming states about the damage caused by dicamba. thenewlede.org/2024/05/bayer-a

    All in the name of corporate profits. Human health is irrelevant. The EPA serves BigBiz:
    'But this week, the EPA said that despite the court ruling, it will still allow millions of gallons of dicamba to be sprayed this growing season.'

  24. Big agricultural news from earlier this week! It has been determined that Dicamba was unlawfully approved in 2020 by the EPA. Meaning that potentially it cannot be used this year and into the future.

    “its toxicity is not limited to weeds; it kills broadleaf plants, generally, including desirable plants, bushes, and trees. Dicamba easily moves off-field due to wind drift during spraying and is volatile, meaning it evaporates into a gas during spraying if there is a temperature inversion or even hot weather can cause it to vaporize after spraying."

  25. US court bans three weedkillers and finds the US Environmental Protection Agency broke law in approval process. Ban on #dicamba-based weedkillers used on #GMO crops is a major blow to three of the world's largest agrochemical companies: #Bayer, #BASF and #Syngenta. The news comes at a particularly bad time for Bayer, reeling from other #Monsanto-related problems, notably mass litigation over #Roundup, which is costing Bayer billions. theguardian.com/environment/20

  31. Hello! We're @GMWatch and we work to counter the enormous corporate political power and propaganda of the #GMO industry and its supporters. As part of that we provide news and comment on #GMOs and their associated #pesticides, such as #glyphosate and #dicamba, and the #biotech companies, like #Bayer #Monsanto #Syngenta and #Corteva (#Dow/#DuPont), who promote them. #intro #introduction #introductions

  32. After multiple reports of fruit and vegetable damage attributed to #dicamba drift, University of #Missouri researchers are testing the effectiveness of fencing treated with activated #charcoal in pulling particles away from vulnerable crops. #Mizzou's researchers will place different types of fencing between a row of #tomato plants and dicamba-tolerant #soybeans.
