NUTRIEN TO PAY $668K FINE FOR MISAPPLICATION OF DICAMBA
Nov. 12, 2021
Agri-Pulse reports:
Nutrien Ag Solutions has agreed to pay a $668,100 fine for applying dicamba products last summer while their registrations were cancelled because of a ruling by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
The company "allegedly used two dicamba products in a manner inconsistent with the approved label on at least 27 occasions, in violation of the agency's cancellation order," EPA said, and also applied dicamba 33 times during periods of high winds, in violation of the label.
Nutrien "has taken steps to address the alleged violations," EPA said, including by conducting training on pesticide applications, working with pesticide applicators to comply with label and other requirements, and improving its recordkeeping practices.
