Tips on applying dicamba/glyphosate tank mix on Xtend soybeans

By Allan Dawson July 6, 2015

Roundup Ready Xtend soybeans, which can be safely sprayed with glyphosate and dicamba, offer many advantages, but there are several things to keep in mind when applying dicamba.

Seed is being multiplied now for a commercial launch in 2016 pending their acceptance in China.
