Dicamba is a selective herbicide in the chlorophenoxy family of chemicals. It comes in several salt formulations and an acid formulation. These forms of dicamba have different properties in the environment. Products with dicamba frequently contain other herbicides as well.

Dicamba is similar to the herbicide 2,4-D. Both act like natural plant hormones known as auxins. These hormones help to control plant growth. When plants are treated with dicamba, they grow in abnormal and uncontrollable ways, and often, the plants die. Dicamba is used on many broadleaf weeds and woody plants.

Dicamba is a selective systemic herbicide, absorbed by the leaves and the roots, with
ready translocation throughout the plant via both the symplastic and apoplastic
systems. It is used in agriculture (cereals, maize, sorghum, sugar cane, asparagus,
perennial seed grasses, turf, pastures, rangeland and non crop land) against annual
and perennial broad-leaved weeds and brush species.

APPLICATIONS
Biochemistry
Synthetic auxin (acting like indolylacetic acid).

Mode of action
Selective systemic herbicide, absorbed by the leaves and roots, with ready translocation throughout the plant via both the symplastic and apoplastic systems. Acts as an auxin-like growth regulator.

Uses
Control of annual and perennial broad-leaved weeds and brush species in cereals, maize, sorghum, sugar cane, asparagus, perennial seed grasses, turf, pastures, rangeland, and non-crop land. Used in combinations with many other herbicides. Dosage varies with specific use and ranges from 0.1 to 0.4 kg/ha for crop use, higher rates in pasture.
