Dicamba is an old herbicide, which has been reformulated,
rebranded and marketed alongside the development of dicamba
tolerant crops, as a solution to the critical issue of glyphosate
resistant weeds.
Dicamba's auxin mode of action has proved to be robust to weed
resistance, so far. Its weed control spectrum, being strong on
broadleaved weeds, is a good complement to glyphosate's when the
two active ingredients are used together.
However, there have been practical and legal issues of spray
drift/volatilisation causing damage to dicamba susceptible crops.
Further restrictions on the use of dicamba and loss of
registrations would have a serious impact on the spread of
resistant weeds and on the future of glyphosate.
This report reviews the current situation regarding dicamba
herbicides from all the key perspectives, including players and
sales across the various sectors; agronomic fit in crops and
regions; manufacturing and formulation; and regulatory status and
issues. The main focus will be on maize, soybeans and cotton in the
US, which is by far the most important sector.
Dicamba's technical profile is overviewed and potential
alternatives considered.
The overall outlook is summarised, including scenarios for the
future of dicamba and the relevant weed control sectors and
alternative technologies.
