Dr. Jason Norsworthy, Division of Agriculture weed scientist, right, and graduate student Michael Houston examine soybeans used as biodetectors in a dicamba volatility study. The project also uses electronic sensors to detect dicamba in the air over a field treated with the herbicide. Norsworthy said the soybeans are more sensitive than the electronic sensors and cupping of the leaves could indicte volatized dicamba even if the sensors don't show any in the air.
