13. Please provide supplemental information here

Multiple symptomology observed; Boundry and perhaps 2-4D. Dicamba symptomology is also present. Wind was strong , but blowing wrong direction; possibly a different source field. According to weather sources the wind was manily SE mostly parallel to sensitive soybean field, but some wind variability or swirling may have moved it on to the sensitive field. It is also possible that symtoms were caused by Boundary (drawstring crinkle cupping) under cool wet conditions. Another source field also possible and possible inversion; injury level was low.
