2,4-d 720g/l SL wheat herbicide offers high cost-effectiveness
September 8, 2026
2,4-D is a phenoxyacetic acid herbicide—often referred to as a 24D chemical—used worldwide as a selective broadleaf weed killer. In our portfolio it is available as 2,4-D (24D) 720 g/L SL, with amine and ester options to match local labels and climates.
How it works (auxin mimic).
2,4-D acts as a synthetic auxin, disrupting normal cell division and elongation in emerged broadleaf weeds. The result is loss of growth regulation and plant death in susceptible species when used as directed on the label.
Systemic movement (translocation).
After foliar uptake or root absorption, 2,4-D translocates through phloem and xylem to meristematic tissues. This systemic movement supports uniform, internal activity, helping programs achieve consistent results across canopies and dense stands.
Why grasses are generally tolerant.
Most grasses metabolize or compartmentalize auxin-type actives more effectively than broadleaf species. This physiological difference underpins 2,4-D’s selectivity in crops, pasture, and turf when timing and rates follow the local label.
Safety and Environmental Considerations
While 2,4-D is a highly effective herbicide, it is essential to follow proper handling and safety measures to ensure environmental and human safety.
Recommended Usage Across Various Crops
| Crops | Target Weeds | Application Rate | Application Method |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wheat, Barley | Broadleaf weeds, Wild mustard, Chickweed | 1.0-2.0 L/ha | Post-emergence spraying |
| Corn (Maize) | Bindweed, Pigweed, Morning glory | 1.5-3.0 L/ha | Post-emergence spraying |
| Rice | Broadleaf weeds, Amaranthus species | 1.0-2.5 L/ha | Spray application |
| Pastures | Dandelion, Thistles, Clover | 2.5-4.0 L/ha | Spot treatment, boom spraying |
| Lawns & Turf | Dandelions, Clover, Plantain weeds | 0.5-1.5 L/ha | Sprayer or backpack sprayer |
| Industrial Sites, Roadsides | Unwanted vegetation, Brush weeds | 3.0-5.0 L/ha | Non-crop area treatment |
Safety Precautions
- Wear protective gear (gloves, goggles, and a mask) during handling and application.
- Avoid drift to sensitive crops such as tomatoes, grapes, and cotton, which may be susceptible to 2,4-D damage.
- Do not spray near water bodies to prevent contamination of aquatic ecosystems.
- Store in a cool, dry place, away from food, feed, and direct sunlight.
Toxicity & Environmental Impact
- Classified as slightly toxic to mammals but highly toxic to aquatic life.
- Biodegrades in soil within 1-2 weeks, minimizing environmental persistence.
- Regulatory compliance: Approved by EPA, FAO, and WHO for agricultural use.
