Introduction:
2, 4-D, a chlorinated phenoxy compound, is a highly selective herbicide used to control broadleaf weeds. Once absorbed 2, 4-D is translocated within the plant and accumulates at the growing points of roots and shoots where it inhibits growth. 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) is a common systemic Herbicide used in the control of broadleaf weeds. 2,4-D is the most widely used Herbicide in the world.
Characteristic and Usage:
2,4-D, its amine salts and butyl ester are systemic herbicides, widely used for the control of broad-leaved weeds such as Plantago, Ranunculus and Veronic in cereals crops-including wheat, maize, rice and sorghum-and grassland and turf areas. It is also widely used in mixtures with other herbicides to provide weed control in forestry, orchards and non-crop areas, and for the control of aquatic weeds.
Mechanism of Herbicide action:
2,4-D is a synthetic auxin, which is a class of plant hormones. 2,4-D is absorbed through the leaves and is translocated to the meristems of the plant. Uncontrolled, unsustainable growth ensues, causing stem curl-over, leaf withering, and eventual plant death. 2,4-D is typically applied as an amine salt, but more potent ester versions exist as well.
2,4-D 72% SL Applications:
2,4-D 72% SL is primarily used as a Herbicide. 2,4-D 72% SL is used for broadleaf weed control in agricultural and nonagricultural settings, and it is registered for use in both terrestrial and aquatic environments. Major sites include pasture and rangeland, residential lawns, roadways, and cropland. Crops treated with 2,4-D 72% SL include field corn, soybeans, spring wheat, hazelnuts, sugarcane, and barley.
2,4-D 72% SL is most commonly used for:
Protecting the turf we live, work and play on Protecting our food crops Wheat and small grain weed control Keeping vegetables, fruits and nuts weed-free Range and pastureland weed protection Controlling invasive, noxious and non-native weeds Keeping weeds out of waterways Protecting our forests Vegetation management along highways, railroads and rights-of-way
2,4-D 72% SL Package Size(s): 500ml, 1L, 2L, 5L, 20L
