24-D TIPA

Type: Herbicide

Mode of Action: Mimics the plant hormone Auxin

Common Product Names: Forefront & Tordon RTU

What is it?

2,4-D TIPA is a widely recognized and utilized herbicide, particularly valued for its effectiveness against broadleaf weeds. Unlike grass herbicides, which target monocots, 2,4-D TIPA is selective and primarily used to manage dicotyledonous plants (broadleaf plants). This active ingredient is formulated as a triisopropanolamine salt, which enhances its solubility in water, making it easier to apply in liquid form over large agricultural fields or residential lawns. The application of 2,4-D TIPA is mainly post-emergent, meaning it is effective after the weeds have germinated and are actively growing. This makes it ideal for use in established crops, lawns, and non-crop areas where controlling existing weed populations is necessary. Results from 2,4-D TIPA application are typically seen within a few days, with complete control achieved in 1 to 3 weeks, depending on the weed species and environmental conditions.

How does it work?

2,4-D TIPA works by mimicking the natural growth hormone auxin, which is essential for plant growth and development. When applied to broadleaf weeds, the herbicide is absorbed through the leaves and then translocated throughout the plant. The synthetic auxin overloads the plant's hormonal balance, causing unregulated and abnormal growth. This results in distorted growth patterns, such as twisting of stems and leaves, and ultimately leads to the plant's death.

Benefits

  • Selective Action: Targets broadleaf weeds without harming grasses, making it suitable for use in lawns, pastures, and cereal crops.
  • Proven Track Record: A well-established herbicide with decades of research supporting its efficacy and safety when used according to label instructions.
  • Ease of Application: Formulated as a soluble salt, it mixes readily with water and can be applied using standard spraying equipment.
  • Quick Action: Visible effects on weeds can be observed within a few days, with full control typically achieved in 1 to 3 weeks.
