Mode of Action

GROUP I HERBICIDE

MCPA & Dicamba are foliar absorbed systemic herbicides that belong to the Group I Mode of Action Group. They are often termed auxin mimic herbicides because they mimic natural growth hormones, and upset the natural hormone balance in weedy species. Growth hormones regulate cell elongation, protein synthesis, and cell division. They upset the normal hormone balance within susceptible plants. Auxin mimic herbicides cause unregulated plant growth.

The unregulated growth that auxin mimic herbicides impart, causes symptoms on susceptible plants that include growth and reproduction abnormalities (especially on new growth). Broadleaf species exhibit stem and petiole twisting (epinasty), leaf malformations, parallel venation, crinkling, leaf strapping, stem callus formation, and stunted root growth. Plant death is gradual, due to unconstrained mobilization of reserves, however generally symptoms are observed within 7-14 days following an application.
