Usage

General Description

4-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)butanoate, also known as 2,4-DB, is a synthetic herbicide that is commonly used in agriculture to control broadleaf weeds in cereal crops, such as wheat and barley. It works by mimicking the natural plant hormone auxin, causing abnormal growth in susceptible plants and eventually leading to their death. 2,4-DB is a selective herbicide, meaning it targets specific types of weeds while leaving the desired crops unharmed. However, it is important to use this chemical with caution, as it can be toxic to aquatic organisms and may cause skin irritation in humans. Additionally, there is evidence to suggest that 2,4-DB may be carcinogenic and could pose a risk to human health. Therefore, proper safety measures and handling procedures should be followed when using this herbicide.
