Description
2.5 GALLON JUG
2-4D (short for 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid) is a widely used selective herbicide that targets broadleaf weeds without harming most grasses, making it especially useful in agriculture, turf management, and lawn care. It belongs to the auxin class of herbicides, mimicking natural plant hormones to disrupt normal growth processes in susceptible plants.
Key Features:
- Selective Weed Control: Effectively targets and eliminates broadleaf weeds while sparing grass and cereal crops.
- Versatile Application: Suitable for use in agricultural fields, lawns, golf courses, parks, and rights-of-way.
- Multiple Forms Available: Offered in liquid, granular, and soluble powder formulations to suit different application methods.
- Systemic Action: Absorbed by foliage and roots, it translocates throughout the plant for comprehensive weed control.
- Cost-Effective: Delivers effective results with a relatively low application rate.
Uses:
- Agriculture: Controls weeds in cereal crops, pastures, and orchards.
- Turf Management: Keeps lawns, golf courses, and recreational areas free from invasive weeds.
- Industrial Areas: Manages unwanted vegetation along roadsides, railways, and industrial sites.
Application Guidelines:
- Apply when target weeds are actively growing, typically in the early growth stages.
- Follow recommended dilution rates and application methods as specified on the product label.
- Avoid spraying on windy days to minimize drift and potential damage to nearby non-target plants.
Safety and Environmental Considerations:
- Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling and applying 2-4D.
- Follow local regulations and guidelines to minimize environmental impact.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from children and pets.
