Overview

Dicamba (3,6-dichloro-2-methoxybenzoic acid) is a selective systemic herbicide first registered in 1967. It is widely used for controlling broadleaf weeds in grain crops, turf areas, pastures, and non-crop areas. Dicamba is known for its effectiveness and low cost, making it a popular choice in agricultural practices.

Uses

Dicamba is primarily used for weed control in grain crops and turf areas. It is also effective in controlling brush and bracken in pastures, as well as legumes and cacti. When combined with other herbicides, dicamba can be used for weed control in range land and non-crop areas such as fence rows and roadways.

Regulatory

Dicamba has been approved for use by various regulatory bodies, including the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). However, its use has been subject to scrutiny due to its tendency to drift and affect non-target plants. Regulatory measures have been implemented to mitigate these risks, including labeling restrictions and application guidelines.

Monitoring

Monitoring dicamba residues is crucial for ensuring compliance with regulatory limits. Laboratories conducting food and environmental analysis rely on high-purity reference materials to accurately measure dicamba residues. These reference materials are essential for maintaining the integrity of analytical results.

Health Impact

Dicamba has low toxicity by ingestion, inhalation, or dermal exposure. However, occupational risks have been identified for handlers mixing and loading dicamba formulations. Studies have reported increased lung and colon cancer rates among individuals exposed to dicamba, as well as an increased risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Environmental Impact

Dicamba is known to drift from treated fields, affecting neighboring crops and non-target plants. It has low toxicity to aquatic invertebrates but can act as an endocrine disruptor for fish. Dicamba's environmental fate involves biodegradation by aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, resulting in less toxic by-products.

Safety Measure

To minimize the risks associated with dicamba use, it is important to follow safety guidelines and regulatory requirements. This includes using drift-resistant formulations, adhering to application restrictions, and employing protective measures for handlers. Proper monitoring and analysis of dicamba residues are also essential for ensuring safety.
