Usage

General Description

(4-chloro-2-ethylphenoxy)acetic acid, also known as 2,4-DEA, is a chemical compound that is commonly used as a herbicide to control the growth of broadleaf weeds in various crops. It works by mimicking the plant growth hormone auxin, causing uncontrolled growth and ultimately leading to the death of the weed. 2,4-DEA is considered to be a selective herbicide, meaning that it targets specific types of plants while leaving others unaffected. It is important to note that 2,4-DEA is a powerful chemical and should be handled with care and used according to safety guidelines to avoid any potential harm to humans, animals, or the environment.
