Usage

General Description

2,4-Dichlorophenoxy-1-methyl propanoate is a chemical compound that is commonly referred to as mecoprop. It is a selective herbicide that is used to control broadleaf weeds in lawns, turf, and other non-crop areas. Mecoprop works by mimicking the plant hormone auxin, which disrupts the normal growth process of the targeted weeds, ultimately leading to their death. It is often formulated as a liquid or powder and can be applied to the soil or sprayed directly onto the foliage of the targeted plants. Mecoprop is considered to have low toxicity for humans and is generally not harmful to animals when used according to label instructions. However, it should be handled with care and stored properly to prevent any accidental exposure.
