Over-the-top dicamba use returns to Minnesota for the 2026 season. On Feb. 6, the EPA approved the federal registrations for the following dicamba products Engenia® Herbicide (EPA Reg. No: 7969-507), Stryax™ with VaporGrip® Technology (EPA Reg. No: 264-1241), and Tavium® Plus VaporGrip® Technology (EPA Reg. No: 100-1753)1.
The new registrations are for over-the-top (OTT) use on dicamba-tolerant (DT) soybeans for the 2026 and 2027 growing seasons (Figure 1). New mitigation measures are required for use to reduce drift, minimize volatility, and protect the environment. As in previous years, state-specific restrictions will be in place for OTT applications of dicamba in Minnesota.
