In-season dicamba complaints remain low in the Southeast, but the season is not over. Applications are behind schedule in some places due to early season weather, and regulatory and Extension officials hope applicators remain vigilant to the end. 
 
As of July 9, the Structural Pest Control and Pesticides Division of the North Carolina Department of Agriculture received seven official dicamba drift complaints: two involving damage to grapes, two involving damage to non-dicamba tolerant soybeans; two involving tobacco and one involving tomatoes.
