Dicamba “drift” destroying crops downwind from application sites of Monsanto’s toxic herbicide

July 31, 2017 -

Though dicamba has been on the market for several decades, it's historically been used only as a pre-emergent, meaning it was applied to soils before crop plantings. But farmers are now applying this noxious chemical product to crops after they've been planted – and reports indicate that they're doing so illegally, as dicamba isn't approved for post-planting use.

The reason for this is that dicamba is highly volatile, meaning it easily takes flight ...

Tenneessee restricts use of Monsanto herbicide dicamba as damage to food crops spreads

March 13, 2019 -

The problem, farmers say, is that the dicamba formulations only work for crops that have been designed for it. Wind and weather conditions affect the pesticide, which cause dicamba to spread over to neighboring farms and damage other crops. Weed specialists from Missouri have stated that off-target movement from dicamba has damaged at least 203,045 acres of soybeans, along with 73 acres of watermelons, 18 acres of cantaloupes, 24 acres of certified ...

Bayer wants EPA to issue “updated label” on Dicamba – claiming their growers now spread the toxic herbicide in the “right way”

September 26, 2018 -

After complaints rolled in the past few years about the high drift and volatility of the controversial weed killer concoction Dicamba, Bayer's shills and charlatans figure they'll put some new words in the EPA officials' mouths (and probably some money in their pockets) to change the label on their 60-million-pound-a-year poison they pour on American "tolerant" soy and cotton. Their goal is to preempt the regulatory decision by pretending that HOW the toxins are ...

August 06, 2020 -

That’s unfortunate because a huge body of evidence illustrates the link between pesticides in food and long-term negative health effects on humans. Some of the most commonly used pesticides in food – such as glyphosate, dicamba, chlorpyrifos, atrazine, paraquat, neonicotinoids, 2,4-D and 1,3-D – have been linked to serious health problems. Here is a look at some of the biggest health impacts of pesticides, as outlined by Food Revolution Network.

Arkansas court rules with Monsanto, grants farmers right to spray toxic Dicamba herbicide that causes horrific crop damage to nearby farms

After dicamba is sprayed, its toxic chemistry carries through the wind and causes damage to nearby crops that aren’t genetically modified to withstand the chemical.

Not only is dicamba destroying the biodiversity of plant life in the ecosystem, but it is also taking out natural crops, forcing more farmers ...
