The Illinois Department of Agriculture (IDOA) announced on Tuesday it will extend the application date that dicamba can be applied on soybeans in Illinois for the 2019 growing season until July 15. “Due to the extraordinary wet weather seen in this state during the spring planting season and with still over 50% of the soybean crop to be planted, the IDOA will extend the application date to apply dicamba until July 15th,” said John Sullivan, Director, IDOA. “This decision was not taken lightly, however, farmers have been under intense pressure related to the extreme wet weather conditions and hopefully this decision will provide some relief.” This may not apply to every soybean farmer, depending on when their crop was planted.
