Check soybean bag tags carefully for germination rates, calculate seeding rates appropriately and pick the right fungicide seed treatments in the spring.

State pesticide regulators did not get a chance to vet EPA's new dicamba labels before they were released. The result has been confusion for agencies already overwhelmed by dicamba investigations.
