USDA approves Bayer’s new corn cultivar which is resistant to five herbicides
Apr. 1, 2024
USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), has issued a proposed rule to approve a corn cultivar developed by Bayer that is resistant to five herbicides, including dicamba.
In a draft environmental impact statement, APHIS addressed the off-target dicamba damage that has been associated with applications of the volatile herbicide to dicamba-resistant soybeans, stating that the degree to which approving the corn cultivar would contribute to the controversy was ″uncertain.″ Along with dicamba, the new cultivar is also resistant to glufosinate, glyphosate, quizalofop and 2,4-D. APHIS will take comments on the proposal through May 6.
