Description: Key Benefits of 2,4-D Amine 4L:
Selective Herbicide: 2,4-D is primarily used as a selective herbicide which kills many terrestrial and aquatic broadleaf weeds, but not grasses. This makes it ideal for use in lawns, pastures, and cereal crops where it can eliminate weeds without harming the desired plants.
Widely Available and Affordable: As one of the oldest herbicides, 2,4-D is widely available and produced by many chemical companies. Its patent has long since expired, making it a more affordable option compared to some newer herbicides.
Versatile Use: 2,4-D is used in a variety of sectors including agriculture, domestic lawn and garden maintenance, forestry, and along roadways and waterways. It is also used by government agencies to control the spread of invasive, noxious, and non-native weed species.
Effective Against Broadleaf Weeds: It is particularly effective against broadleaf weeds such as dandelions, plantain, clover, and chickweed, making it a popular choice for maintaining lawns and other turf areas.
Used in Plant Research: In addition to its use as a herbicide, 2,4-D has been used in laboratories for plant research as a supplement in plant cell culture media. It is used in plant cell cultures as a dedifferentiation (callus induction) hormone.
