NCC Welcomes EPA Dicamba Label Approval

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -  The National Cotton Council (NCC) appreciates the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) approval of a dicamba label that allows continued use of this important crop protection product. Cotton growers need timely access to effective tools to protect yields and deliver a high-quality crop.

“EPA’s decision provides growers much-needed clarity as they prepare for the upcoming growing season,” said Patrick Johnson, Chairman of the National Cotton Council. “We support label requirements that are workable in the field and backed by a science-based registration process. NCC will continue engaging with the EPA to advocate for practical provisions that enable responsible use."

NCC encourages applicators and producers to follow all label requirements when using dicamba as part of an integrated weed management program.
