2,4-D is a classic synthetic auxin herbicide belonging to the phenoxycarboxylic acid family. It features strong systemic absorption and selective activity. After foliar and root absorption, the active ingredient rapidly translocates to the meristem and root system of weeds. It disturbs normal cell division and growth regulation of broadleaf weeds, resulting in stem distortion, leaf curling, root swelling, nutrient transport blockage, and eventual thorough death of the whole weed plant.

Gramineous crops such as wheat, corn and rice have specific detoxification enzymes, which can metabolize 2,4-D into inactive substances, showing excellent crop tolerance. This product is exclusively effective on dicot broadleaf weeds, with no damage to gramineous crops, achieving precise selective weeding. It is widely used in global grain crops and pasture weed management.

2,4-D acts as a plant growth hormone mimic to trigger fatal growth disorder in target weeds. Once absorbed by weed leaves, stems or roots, it simulates excessive auxin activity and breaks the normal growth rhythm of broadleaf weeds.

Continuous abnormal cell proliferation leads to vascular tissue deformation and blockage, cutting off the transportation of water and nutrients. Weeds stop growing within 2-3 days, show obvious malformation and wilting within 5-7 days, and die completely within 10-15 days.

Different from contact herbicides that only kill surface foliage, 2,4-D’s systemic translocation thoroughly eradicates underground root systems, effectively preventing weed regrowth. Classified as HRAC Group 4, it has no cross-resistance with pyrethroids, organophosphates and ALS-inhibitor herbicides, perfectly suitable for IPM resistance rotation programs.

• Dual Absorption Action: Works through foliar contact and root absorption, no dead-angle weeding
• Systemic Translocation: Fully penetrates and spreads inside weeds, eradicates roots completely
• Strict Selectivity: Harmless to gramineous crops, lethal to dicot broadleaf weeds
• Stable Residual Effect: Long-lasting weed control, reduces repeated spraying frequency
• Low Resistance Risk: Unique mode of action, core product for weed resistance management

2,4-D provides efficient and thorough control of almost all common annual and perennial broadleaf weeds in agricultural fields and pastoral land. With stable systemic activity and strong root-killing ability, it adapts to various crop growth environments and climatic conditions worldwide.

Annual Broadleaf Weeds: Pigweed, lambsquarters, chickweed, mustard weed, wild radish, knotweed, velvetleaf, cocklebur

Perennial Broadleaf Weeds: Dandelion, field bindweed, thistle, morning glory, water hyacinth, creeping broadleaf weeds

Correct application of 2,4-D is the key to maximizing weeding efficacy. All formulations are easy to dilute in water, with fast plant absorption and stable field performance, suitable for manual knapsack sprayers and large-scale boom sprayer operations.

• Applicable Formulations: 720g/L SL, 900g/L EC, 80% SP, 98% TC
• Application Method: Uniform foliar spray
• Dilution Requirement: Fully stir and dilute with clean water to avoid local high concentration phytotoxicity
• Spray Timing: Best for weed 2-4 leaf stage; apply in cool morning or evening; avoid high temperature above 30℃ and rainy days

Pro Tip: Ensure full and uniform coverage of weed foliage. Strictly avoid drift to sensitive crops including soybean, peanut, cotton, vegetables and fruit seedlings to prevent phytotoxicity.

Compatible With: Most gramineous herbicides such as glyphosate, atrazine, acetochlor, as well as conventional fungicides and foliar fertilizers

Avoid Mixing With: Strongly alkaline pesticides, high-concentration calcium-containing foliar fertilizers

Rotation Advantage: HRAC Group 4 independent mode of action, perfect for rotating with Group 1, 2, 9 herbicides to delay weed resistance generation

As a global classic herbicide, 2,4-D has irreplaceable advantages in large-scale agricultural weed control, balancing efficacy, safety and cost perfectly.

Effectively controls almost all common annual and perennial broadleaf weeds in grain crops, economic crops and pastoral land, solving the problem of mixed weed infestation in farmland.

Safe for all gramineous crops including wheat, corn, rice and sugarcane, no growth inhibition or yield loss under standard dosage, suitable for large-scale popularization.

Different from superficial contact weeding, 2,4-D penetrates into weed vascular tissues and eradicates root systems thoroughly, effectively avoiding weed regrowth.

Low application dosage, wide weed spectrum and affordable price make it the most cost-effective broadleaf weed control solution for global large farmland.

Amine salt SL for neutral/alkaline water areas, ester EC for dry and arid regions, SP/TC for bulk formulation, adapting to all global market demands.

Registered and approved by FAO, WHO, EPA and ICAMA, compliant with international MRL standards, safe for food crop application and global trade.

2,4-D can be rapidly absorbed by weed foliage within 2-4 hours after spraying. Once absorbed, rainfall will not affect the efficacy, ensuring stable weed control in variable weather conditions.

Stable activity under high temperature and strong sunlight, adaptable to tropical, subtropical and temperate agricultural regions, widely used in Asia, Africa, Latin America and other major agricultural areas.

Aerobic soil half-life: 6-15 days, rapid natural biodegradation, no long-term soil residue accumulation, low leaching risk, compliant with green agricultural development standards.

Ester formulations are slightly toxic to aquatic organisms; avoid direct spraying near water bodies and fish ponds. Stop application during crop flowering period to protect pollinators.
