Property：
The density of DICAMBA is 1.57,the melting
point of DICAMBA is 87-108 ºC. The water solubility of
DICAMBA is 50g/100ml. Dicamba (3,6-dichloro-2-methoxybenzoic
acid) is an organochlorine compound that is used as a
herbicide. Brand names for formulations of this herbicide
include Banvel, Oracle and Vanquish. This colourless
compound is a derivative of benzoic acid.

Usage:
Dicamba controls annual and perennial
rose weeds in grain crops and highlands, and Dicamba is
used to control brush and bracken in pastures, as well
as legumes and cacti. Dicamba kills broadleaf weeds
before and after they sprout. In combination with a
phenoxyalkanoic acid or another herbicide, dicamba is
used in pastures, range land, and noncrop areas (fence
rows, roadways and wastage) to control weeds. Dicamba is
toxic to conifer species but is generally less toxic to
grasses.
Dicamba functions by
increasing plant growth rate. At sufficient concentrations,
the plant outgrows its nutrient supplies, and dies.
Biodegradation
The soil bacterium Pseudomonas maltophilia
(strain DI-6) converts dicamba to 3,6-dichlorosalicylic acid
(3,6-DCSA), which is adsorbed to soil much more strongly
than is dicamba but lacks herbicidal activity. Little
information is available on the toxicity of these breakdown
intermediates. The enzymes responsible for this first
breakdown step is a three-component system called dicamba O-demethylase.
One component of the three has recently been incorporated
into the genome of a variety of crop plants making them
resistant to dicamba.
Package and Storage:
