Dicamba

Dicamba is a selective herbicide used primarily for controlling broadleaf weeds in crops like soybeans, cotton, and corn. It works by mimicking the plant hormone auxin, disrupting the growth process and leading to plant death. Dicamba is often used in combination with other herbicides to enhance its effectiveness.

However, dicamba’s volatility and tendency to drift onto non-target crops have raised concerns about its environmental impact and the potential for crop damage.
