The form of dicamba Monsanto developed for use with the crops — which is supposedly less prone to vaporizing and drifting off target — was not approved by the EPA until November. Without it available for two growing seasons, the lawsuit argues it was inevitable that some farmers would turn to unauthorized forms of dicamba when faced with the “unenviable choice” of allowing their fields of dicamba-tolerant crops to be overrun by weeds, or to illegally spray older varieties that would not harm their own fields but jeopardize nearby growers who planted nonresistant seed.
Monsanto maintains that the company is not liable for the wrongdoing of others.
