Usage

General Description

3-butoxypropyl (2,4-dichlorophenoxy)acetate is a chemical compound commonly known as 2,4-D butoxypropyl ester. It is a selective herbicide used to control a wide range of broadleaf weeds in various crops. This chemical works by mimicking the actions of the plant growth hormone auxin, causing uncontrolled and abnormal plant growth that ultimately leads to the death of the targeted weeds. 2,4-D butoxypropyl ester is typically applied as a liquid spray and is absorbed through the leaves, stems, and roots of the plants. However, it is important to handle and use this chemical with caution, as it can be toxic to humans and animals if ingested or inhaled.
