Mother Jones (San Francisco, Jan. 9) – After complaints last year about drift from the weed-killer dicamba damaging adjacent crops, Monsanto, along with other companies, is selling a new, supposedly low-volatility dicamba formulation. It insists that any off-target damage is due to user error. But several independent weed scientists have disputed Monsanto’s assessment, arguing that volatility is a major driver of the problem. Aaron Hager, a professor of crop sciences at Illinois, says the damage was “too uniform to be explained by anything else” in at least half the affected acres he observed in his state in 2017.
