Dicamba Na

Type: Herbicide

Mode of Action: Mimics the plant hormone auxin

Common Product Names: Banvel, Clarity, & Three way Herbicides like Triad

What is it?

Dicamba Na is a salt form of the active ingredient Dicamba, which belongs to the benzoic acid family of herbicides. It is highly effective against a wide range of broadleaf weeds, including those that have developed resistance to other herbicides. Dicamba Na is commonly used in crops like corn, soybeans, wheat, and other cereals. The herbicide is particularly valued for its ability to manage difficult-to-control weeds and is often utilized in both conventional and genetically modified crop systems. Dicamba can be used both as a post-emergent and pre-emergent herbicide, depending on the product formulation and application timing. It's known for its ability to control a wide spectrum of broadleaf weeds, making it a valuable tool for farmers and land managers. The effects of Dicamba can usually be seen within a few days of application, with complete weed control occurring within a week or two, depending on the environmental conditions and the weed species targeted.

How does it work?

Once applied, Dicamba Na is absorbed by the leaves or roots of the target weed. It then moves systemically throughout the plant, imitating the natural plant hormone auxin. This imitation disrupts normal cell division and growth, leading to distorted growth patterns such as twisted stems and leaves. As the plant continues to grow uncontrollably, it exhausts its energy reserves and eventually dies.
