Dicamba resistant (DR) cropping technology has increased dicamba use, resulting in observation of dicamba off-target-movement (OTM). Volatility is one form of this movement. Tank mixtures and environmental conditions impact the volatile behavior of dicamba following application. Research was conducted in 2018, 2019, and 2020 to further assess and understand volatility mitigation by understanding tank-mix effects and utility of irrigation on volatility mitigation. Low tunnel and humidome methodology were used to analyze impact of tank mixtures and irrigation on dicamba volatility. Data suggest tank mixing encapsulated chloroacetamide formulations can mitigate volatility when comparing identical active ingredients formulated as emulsifiable concentrates. Tank-mixed glyphosate increases dicamba volatility regardless of salt form, with dimethylamine salt of glyphosate having the most volatile effect. Manipulation of environmental conditions can also assist in mitigation efforts when applicable through use of irrigation. Increasing amount of irrigation applied following dicamba application has a positive effect on mitigation.
