About 2 4 D Amine Salt 58 Sl

"2,4-D 58 percent" refers to agricultural herbicides containing 2,4-D Amine Salt (or Dimethyl Amine Salt) as the active ingredient at a concentration of 58% Soluble Liquid (SL) or Water Soluble Concentrate (WSC). This product is a selective, systemic, post-emergence weed killer widely used to control broadleaf weeds in various crops. Key Information
• Active Ingredient: 2,4-D Dimethyl Amine Salt 58%.
• Formulation Type: Soluble Liquid (SL) or Water Soluble Concentrate (WSC).
• Mode of Action: It acts as a synthetic auxin (plant growth hormone) that causes uncontrolled cell division and abnormal growth in susceptible weeds, ultimately killing them. It is absorbed by the leaves and roots and translocated throughout the plant.
• Target Weeds: Effective against a wide range of annual and perennial broadleaf weeds and Cyperus species (sedge). Common examples include Convolvulus arvensis, Chenopodium album, Parthenium hysterophorus, and Eichhornia crassipes (aquatic weeds).
• Applicable Crops: It is primarily used in crops where grasses are the main crop and broadleaf weeds are the target, such as wheat, maize, sorghum, sugarcane, and potato.
• Application: It is applied as a foliar spray after the weeds have emerged (post-emergence).
• Selectivity: It is a selective herbicide, meaning it kills target broadleaf weeds without significant harm to the desired grass-like crops when used as directed.
