24-D 2EHE

Type: Herbicide

Mode of Action: Mimic the plant hormone Auxin

Common Product Names: 2,4-D LV6, Surepower, Scorch, & Cleansweep

What is it?

2,4-D 2-Ethylhexyl Ester (2EHE) is a systemic herbicide that is absorbed by the leaves and roots of plants. It is part of the phenoxy family of herbicides, which are known for their effectiveness in controlling broadleaf weeds while leaving grasses largely unaffected. The ester formulation enhances the herbicide's ability to penetrate plant tissues, making it more effective in cooler temperatures where other formulations might be less active. Results from the application of 2,4-D 2EHE can typically be observed within 7 to 14 days, depending on the environmental conditions and the growth stage of the weeds.

How does it work?

Once applied, 2,4-D 2EHE is absorbed by the leaves and roots of broadleaf weeds. It then mimics the natural plant hormone auxin, leading to uncontrolled cell division and growth. This causes the weed to grow abnormally, exhausting its energy reserves, and eventually leading to its death. The herbicide is particularly effective as a post-emergent treatment, meaning it is most effective when applied after the weeds have already emerged and are actively growing.

Benefits

  • Selective Action: Targets broadleaf weeds without harming grasses, making it ideal for turf and cereal crops.
  • Systemic Action: Ensures thorough control by translocating throughout the plant, attacking both above-ground and root systems.
  • Cost-Effective: Offers a relatively low-cost option for broad-spectrum weed control.
  • Rapid Action: Visible results can be seen within one to two weeks, depending on the conditions.
