Active ingredient

2,4-D dimethyl amine salt

Classification

Herbicide / Agrochemical

Mode of Action

Selective systemic herbicide. Salts are readily absorbed by the roots, whilst esters are
readily absorbed by the foliage. Translocation occurs, with accumulation principally
at the meristematic regions of shoots and roots. Acts as a growth inhibitor.

Uses

Post-emergence control of annual and perennial broad-leaved weeds in cereals,
maize, sorghum, grassland, established turf, grass seed crops, orchards (pome fruit
and stone fruit), cranberries, asparagus, sugar cane, rice, forestry, and on non-crop land (including areas adjacent to water), at 0.28-2.3 kg/ha. Control of broad-leaved aquatic weeds. The isopropyl ester can also be used as a plant growth regulator to prevent premature fruit fall in citrus fruit.

Phytotoxicity

Phytotoxic to most broad-leaved crops, especially cotton, vines, tomatoes, ornamentals, fruit trees, oilseed rape and beet.
