Eyona ngxaki yeDikamba ngumkhwa wayo wokuqukuqela ukuya kwiifama namahlathi angakhuselekanga.Kwiminyaka emine ukusukela oko kwaqala ukuthengiswa imbewu ekwaziyo ukumelana nedicamba, yonakalise izigidi zeehektare zomhlaba wokufama.Nangona kunjalo, iinkampani ezimbini zeekhemikhali ezinkulu, i-Bayer kunye ne-BASF, zicebise into abayibiza ngokuba sisisombululo esiza kwenza ukuba i-dicamba ihlale kwimarike.
UJacob Bunge weThe Wall Street Journal uthe iBayer kunye neBASF zizama ukufumana imvume kwiArhente yoKhuseleko lokuSingqongileyo (EPA) ngenxa yezongezo eziphuhliswe ziinkampani ezimbini ukulwa nedicamba drift.Ezi zongezo zibizwa ngokuba zii-adjuvants, kwaye eli gama likwasetyenziswa kumayeza, kwaye ngokuqhelekileyo libhekisa kuyo nayiphi na into edityanisiweyo yesibulali-zinambuzane enokunyusa ukusebenza kwayo okanye ukunciphisa iziphumo ebezingalindelekanga.
I-adjuvant ye-BASF ibizwa ngokuba yi-Sentris kwaye isetyenziswa kunye ne-Engenia yokutshabalalisa ukhula esekelwe kwi-dicamba.I-Bayer ayilibhengezi igama le-adjuvant yayo, eza kusebenza ne-Bayer's XtendiMax dicamba yokutshabalalisa ukhula.Ngokophando lweCotton Grower's, ezi zincedisi zisebenza ngokunciphisa inani lamaqamu kumxube wedicamba.Inkampani esebenza kwi-adjuvant processing yathi imveliso yabo inokunciphisa ukukhukuliseka malunga ne-60%.
