Usage

General Description

2,3-bis(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)butanedioic acid, also known as dican, is a synthetic organic compound commonly used as a herbicide. It belongs to the family of phenoxy herbicides and is widely used to control broadleaf weeds and woody plants in agricultural and non-agricultural settings. Dican works by disrupting the growth, development, and reproduction of unwanted plant species, ultimately leading to their death. It is primarily applied to soil and can be absorbed by plants through their roots, inhibiting their ability to grow and compete with desirable crops or vegetation. While effective as a weed control agent, dican does pose environmental and health risks and should be used with caution and in accordance with safety regulations.
