In 2020, the US Environmental Protection Agency cancelled the use of certain pesticides containing the active ingredient dicamba in response to the Ninth Circuit's order to revoke the registration of these pesticides

One of the evidence cited by the court is that dicamba may drift to neighboring crops and damage them during high winds
.
The EPA stated in its cancellation order that farmers can use their existing inventory of three pesticides containing dicamba before July 31, 2020, but the applicator must comply with all product labeling requirements
