Use Profile

2,*-D comes in multiple chemical forms and is found in numerous end-use products intended for use in a wide range of use patterns. 2,*-D is an ingredient in approximately **0 agricultural and home use products, as a sole active ingredient and in conjunction with other active ingredients. 2,*-D is formulated primarily as an amine salt in an aqueous solution or as an ester in an emulsifiable concentrate.

Type of Pesticide: Herbicide

Target organism(s): A wide variety of broadleaf weeds and aquatic weeds

Mode of action:

2,*-D is thought to increase cell-wall plasticity, biosynthesis of proteins and the production of ethylene. The abnormal increase in these processes is thought to result in uncontrolled

cell division and growth which damages vascular tissue.
