A field study was conducted in Mississippi to determine the effect of reduced dicamba rates on sweetpotato crop tolerance and storage root yield, simulating off-target movement or sprayer tank contamination. Treatments were a non-treated control and four rates of dicamba [70 g ae ha−1 (1/8X), 35 g ae ha−1 (1/16X), 8.65 g ae ha−1 (1/64X) and 1.09 g ae ha−1 (1/512X)] applied either 3 days before transplanting (DBP) or 1, 3, 5, or 7 weeks after transplanting (WAP). An additional treatment consisted of 560 g ae ha−1 (1X) dicamba applied 3 DBP. Crop injury ratings were taken 1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks after treatment (WAT). Across application timings, predicted sweetpotato plant injury 1, 2, 3, and 4 WAT increased from 3 to 22%, 3 to 32%, 2 to 58%, and 1 to 64% as dicamba rate increased from 0 to 70 g ha−1 (1/8X), respectively. As dicamba rate increased from 1/512X to 1/8X, predicted No. 1 yield decreased from 127 to 55%, 103 to 69%, 124 to 31%, and 124 to 41% of the non-treated control for applications made 1, 3, 5, and 7 WAP, respectively. Similarly, as dicamba rate increased from 1/512X to 1/8X, predicted marketable yield decreased from 123 to 57%, 107 to 77%, 121 to 44%, and 110 to 53% of the non-treated control for applications made 1, 3, 5, and 7 WAP, respectively. Dicamba residue (5.3 to 14.3 parts per billion) was detected in roots treated with 1/16X or 1/8X dicamba applied 5 or 7 WAP and 1/64X dicamba applied 7 WAP with the highest residue detected in roots harvested from sweetpotato plants treated at 7 WAP. Collectively, care should be taken to avoid sweetpotato exposure to dicamba especially at 1/8X and 1/16X rates during the growing season.
