flag EPA renews dicamba use on GMO crops with strict new rules, sparking legal and industry debate.

flag On February 6, 2026, the EPA reapproved over-the-top dicamba use on genetically engineered soybeans and cotton for two years, implementing its strictest regulations yet. flag The rules limit applications to two per year, cap annual use at 1 pound per acre, require volatility reduction agents, and impose strict temperature, wind, and timing restrictions to reduce drift. flag Aerial spraying is banned, and certified applicators must follow detailed safety and recordkeeping protocols. flag Environmental groups sued, arguing the rules fail to protect ecosystems and public health, while agricultural groups support the decision as essential for managing resistant weeds. flag The EPA says the action is science-based and balances farming needs with environmental safeguards.
