Corteva to pull its dicamba herbicide from North American markets

摘要

Corteva Agriscience is to discontinue sales of its herbicide, FeXapan (dicamba), in the US and Canada. The product, along with other dicamba-based herbicides, has been embroiled in legal disputes over alleged damage from spray drift. The controversy dates back over three years when the US EPA issued a conditional registration for a Bayer legacy company Monsanto herbicide, which growers alleged had damaged non-target crops across some 3.6 million acres (1.4 million ha) in one season.
