Mode of Action
2,4-D Amine acts as a plant hormone mimic (auxin analogue). After foliar uptake, it translocates within the plant and accumulates in meristematic tissues. This causes disorganized growth, vascular disruption, and tissue necrosis, especially in broadleaf species. It selectively targets dicotyledons while leaving most monocot crops (like corn, wheat, rice) unharmed.
Belonging to HRAC Group O, it is widely used in resistance management programs and rotation strategies.
Target Weeds & Application Spectrum
2,4-D Amine is highly effective against a wide variety of dicotyledonous weeds, including:
-
Pigweed (Amaranthus spp.)
-
Bindweed (Convolvulus spp.)
-
Chickweed (Stellaria media)
-
Black nightshade (Solanum nigrum)
-
Wild radish (Raphanus raphanistrum)
-
Baijiu (local/regional weed targets)
Recommended for use in:
-
Soybean (pre-plant or inter-row spray)
-
Corn, wheat, barley (post-emergence)
-
Coffee, sugarcane, rice (no-till weed suppression)
-
Turf, lawns, and public green areas
Also suitable for soil surface treatment before emergence in some cases.
Application Methods & Recommended Dosage
Crop Type | Application Timing | Target Weeds | Dosage (720 g/L SL) |
---|---|---|---|
Wheat, barley | 3–5 leaf stage | Broadleaf weeds | 0.8–1.2 L/ha |
Corn, rice | Post-emergence (4–6 leaf) | Dicot weeds | 1.0–1.5 L/ha |
Soybean (pre-plant) | 7–10 days before planting | Annuals | 1.0–1.5 L/ha |
Lawn & turf | Active weed growth stage | Mixed broadleaf | 0.6–1.0 L/ha |
-
Use clean water for dilution
-
Apply during calm weather, early morning or late afternoon
-
Avoid drift to sensitive crops (e.g., grapes, cotton, tomatoes)
Benefits & Technical Highlights
-
High Concentration: 720 g/L SL formulation ensures field performance with reduced volume
-
Broadleaf Selectivity: Targets dicots, safe for monocot crops at labeled rates
-
Systemic Translocation: Moves through plant tissue for complete kill
-
Low Volatility: Amine salt reduces vapor drift compared to ester formulations
-
Tank Mix Flexibility: Compatible with other herbicides and fertilizers
Rainfastness & Environmental Profile
-
Becomes rainfast within 6–8 hours after application
-
Rapid degradation in soil, minimal persistence under standard conditions
-
Low leaching potential; binds moderately to soil colloids
-
Not harmful to livestock when applied according to label
Avoid application near water bodies or under high wind conditions. Observe all local buffer zone regulations.
Tank Mix Compatibility & IWM Role
2,4-D Amine 720 g/L SL can be tank-mixed with:
-
Glyphosate for total vegetation control in pre-plant burndown
-
Atrazine, Prometryn for improved broadleaf suppression
-
UAN (urea ammonium nitrate) or acid foliar fertilizers to improve uptake
Supports Integrated Weed Management (IWM) through mode-of-action diversification and cost-effective application programs.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the difference between 2,4-D amine and ester formulations?
Amine salts are less volatile and safer for use near sensitive crops. Esters may act faster but pose higher drift risk.
Q2: Can this product be mixed with glyphosate?
Yes. 2,4-D Amine can be tank-mixed with glyphosate for burndown prior to planting.
Q3: Is this herbicide selective?
Yes. It selectively targets broadleaf weeds while leaving most grasses unharmed when applied at recommended rates.
Q4: Does POMAIS offer private label packaging?
Absolutely. We offer OEM/ODM services with multilingual labeling, custom colors, and compliance documentation.
Q5: What crops should be avoided when spraying nearby?
Avoid drift toward sensitive crops like grapes, cotton, tomatoes, and ornamentals.
