The team found that soybean exposed to dicamba during the vegetative growth stage at the lowest rate evaluated (0.6 g ha–1) had minimal yield loss due to an increase in lateral branching. In contrast, dicamba exposure during the reproductive growth stage of soybean development did not lead to observed lateral branching. At the higher dicamba rates evaluated, soybean yield components limited the most were pods and seed produced per plant.
