Grower has asked neighbours if they sprayed Dicamba this year and nobody said they sprayed Dicamba this year. The grower did see his neighbour spray his fields but didn't ask what he was spraying so he is unsure what it was, but the neighbour did confirm it wasn't dicamba and they no longer grow dicamba tolerant soybeans. The grower is assuming they sprayed Engenia rather than another dicamba product because their neighbour sprayed Engenia 2 years ago.
