During the calendar month of July 2017, Monsanto Canada became aware of eleven alleged spray drift incidents involving XtendiMAX herbicide. A severity classification of Moderate has been assigned to these incidents as the criteria of five or more reports during a calendar month has been met. The reported incidents identified by growers and adjacent landowners are being reviewed by Monsanto to better understand possible contributing factors, including, but not limited to, environmental stress, agronomic practices/conditions and variance from the current label/approved uses. The results of continuing proactive effort by Monsanto may include the enhancement of communications and training and, if appropriate, the review of application requirements for Canadian farmers utilizing the technology. It is expected that as growers and applicators become more familiar with this new technology and use, incidents will decrease in frequency and match that of other historical uses and introductions of herbicide tolerant technology within in cropping systems.
