Dicamba
Dicamba is a kind of herbicide that kills annual and perennial rose weeds in grain crops and highlands. It is used to control brush and bracken in pastures, as well as legumes and cacti. It is a killer for broadleaf weeds before and after they sprout.
In combination with a phenoxy herbicide or other herbicides, dicamba is used in pastures, rangeland, and non-crop areas (fence rows, roadways, and wastage) to control weeds. It is toxic to conifer species but is in general less toxic to grasses.
Applications
Dicamba is adopted to control annual and perennial broad-leaved weeds and brush species in cereals, maize, sorghum, sugarcane, asparagus, perennial seed grasses, turf, pastures, rangeland, and non-crop land. Dosage of the plant growth inhibitor varies with specific use. It ranges from 0.1 to 0.4 kg/ha for crop use, higher rates in pasture.
