2,4-D Amine Salt

Professional Weed Control in Cereal and Corn Crops

When grain fields or corn rows start struggling with broadleaf weed pressure, agronomists turn to the reliable, time-tested solution from DOW AgroSciences. The 2,4-D Amine Salt is a systemic herbicide designed to selectively target and eliminate unwanted vegetation by disrupting their growth cycle. Its key advantage is selectivity: it effectively eliminates competition for water, sunlight, and nutrients while remaining safe for the primary crops.

Application and Performance

This herbicide is best suited for controlling actively growing weeds in their early stages. The list of controlled weeds includes aggressive species like creeping thistle, white goosefoot, field mustard, wild radish, shepherd's purse, cleavers, and knotweed. Due to its systemic action, the active ingredient is absorbed through the leaves and translocated throughout the weed, ensuring complete control from the root up.

• Crops: Winter wheat, winter barley, oats, rye, millet, sorghum, and corn.
• Dosage: 0.5 to 1.0 liters per hectare, providing an economically viable solution for large-scale operations.
• Timing: A single post-emergence application during the active weed growth phase.

The formulation is a water-based solution, making it highly compatible with most other pesticides in tank mixes, which allows for multi-tasking during spraying operations. Given its 3rd class hazard level, it is a convenient choice for modern integrated pest management schedules.

Practical Insights for Field Success

For the best results with 2,4-D Amine Salt by DOW AgroSciences, pay close attention to weather conditions. The product works most effectively within a temperature range of +12°C to +25°C, when the weeds are in their most active vegetative state. Avoid applying during periods of frost or severe drought, as plant metabolism slows down under stress, potentially reducing the herbicide's effectiveness. By incorporating this product into your crop protection strategy, you ensure a clean field and protected yields with efficient, targeted weed management.
