Product Name: 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid (2,4-D)
Catalog No.: 900101
Alternate Names: (2,4-D)
Description: 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid (2,4-D) is a highly effective, systemic herbicide widely utilized for the selective control of broadleaf weeds. It works by mimicking the plant's natural growth hormones, causing rapid, uncontrolled, and unsustainable growth tissue development in susceptible broadleaf plants. This process, known as epinasty, leads to leaf curling, stem twisting, and ultimate vascular collapse of the weed, while leaving narrow-leaved plants (monocots like grasses and grains) unaffected.
