Learn about the weed-killing pesticide – dicamba – that drifted rampantly to injure crops on millions of acres in the 2017 crop season. This FAQ clears up common misconceptions about Monsanto’s new version of dicamba – XtendiMax – and the company’s dicamba-resistant crops. It also addresses the yield impacts of dicamba damage, “defensive adoption” of dicamba-resistant crops, and provides answers to questions you never thought to ask, like: Where does the dicamba resistance gene come from, and how was it originally intended to be used?
