Usage

General Description

2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid diethanolamine salt, also known as 2,4-D, is a herbicide that is commonly used to control broadleaf weeds in agricultural crops. It is a salt derivative of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, which is a synthetic auxin that mimics the effects of natural plant hormones, causing uncontrolled growth and ultimately death in susceptible plants. The diethanolamine salt formulation of 2,4-D makes it easier to dissolve and mix in water for application. However, there is ongoing debate and controversy surrounding the safety and potential health risks associated with the use of 2,4-D, particularly in relation to its potential impact on human health and the environment.
