3,6-Dichloro-2-methoxybenzoic acid (dicamba) is an important and selective systemic herbicide. It is effective against annual and perennial broad-leaved weeds and brushed species in cereals, maize, sorghum, sugarcane, turf, pastures, range land and non-crop areas. Dicamba is absorbed through roots as well as leaves and translocates throughout the plant. It mimics auxin, a plant growth regulator and at adequate concentrations, is known to increase plant growth rate that outgrows its nutrient supplies leading to death of the plant. Dicamba in combination with phenoxy or other herbicides is used in pastures, range land, and non-crop areas to control weeds.
