Dicamba(CAT: R044575) is a selective, systemic herbicide belonging to the benzoic acid class, widely used to control broadleaf weeds in agriculture and turf management. It acts as a synthetic auxin, mimicking natural plant hormones and causing uncontrolled growth that leads to plant death. Dicamba is absorbed through both leaves and roots, and is translocated throughout the plant, making it effective in post-emergent applications. It is commonly used in crops like corn, soybeans, and cereals, often in combination with other herbicides to combat resistant weed species.
