The new "low volatility" versions of dicamba didn't stay where they belonged. They drifted into nearby fields, damaging crops there — mostly soybeans, but also vegetables and orchards.

Also, there's no reason to suspect that it damaged only economically important plants. Nearby wildlife would plausibly be impacted.
