General description

Dicamba (3,6-dichloro-2-methoxybenzoic acid) is an organochlorine compound, with plant growth auxin characteristics.

Application

Dicamba has been used:
  • as an auxin to maintain wheat embryos post pollination
  • as a Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplement to culture embryos
  • as an auxin in induction medium to induce somatic embryogenesis in barely tissue culture

Biochem/physiol Actions

Dicamba is a broad leaf growth regulator that mimics plant growth auxins. Dicamba is used as a herbicide and is effective against glyphosate-resistant (GR) giant ragweed.

Packaging

Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone.
