As the planting season approaches, farmers are focusing on developing comprehensive crop protection strategies. According to Ty Witten, who serves as vice president for commercial LTO at Bayer, seventeen states have already given their approval for Dicamba registration.<\/p>

“Hopefully over the next 30 days we’ll have that product available and place so growers can have a good season,” Witten stated.<\/p>

Witten noted that producers planning to utilize over-the-top applications should be preparing their management programs accordingly as they gear up for the upcoming growing season.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
