Dicamba
Questions
How much is a lot of drift? Is 1% really a lot of drift? I guess what i am really asking is how much is really being drifted when it drifts in a non simulated way. For example these test were done at rates between .1 and 1 %, but what if the average of all natural drift was 2%? Or 3...

Pollinator visitation is in part reduced because of flowering occurring later and there being less abundant flowers over all. My question then is does the dicamba have a direct effect on pollinator visitation or is it just indirect by reducing possible food sources?
Definitely seems like this might be a out there question, but some plants have shown they can warn other plants in the area of a predator (insect) and they will defend themselves before they are injured. My question is has there been an instance of this behavior with herbicides/can crops sprayed with drift send a signal that effects nearby plants that were not directly exposed?
Pollen
Less plentiful due to flowers produced, but same protein/nutritional value
Figure 2
Hard to see but this figure shows the pollen protein concentration of Eupatorium perfoliatum when exposed to the different drift rates.
I wonder why the pollen exposed to just a little bit (.56) seems to have a slightly higher protein concentration while the 0 exposed and more exposed (while yes not much less) have less protein concentration?
