The American Soybean Association is applauding the Environmental Protection Agency's approval of new crop protection technologies, saying the products will give farmers more tools to manage weeds, protect yields, and support regenerative farming practices. ASA said the approvals provide soybean growers access to newer technologies needed to combat increasing weed and pest pressures while maintaining productivity. "We appreciate EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin and the agency for advancing registrations for a suite of new crop protection tools," said Scott Metzger, ASA President. "Crop protection tools must evolve alongside modernizing farm practices, making access to these innovative technologies critical to maintaining the competitive advantage of U.S. soybeans." The approvals are an important step forward, and ASA encourages EPA to continue building on this momentum by advancing additional science-based registrations that provide soybean farmers with the innovative tools they need to remain productive, competitive, and sustainable.
