Active Ingredients, Trade Names & Formulations

Question 1

What is 2,4-D and what is it used on and what does it control?

Answer 1

Group 4 - used on Wheat, barley, spring rye, - 4 leaf to early flag leaf for broad leaf weed control
2,4-D is an herbicide that kills plants by changing the way certain cells grow. The toxicity of 2,4-D depends on its form.
2,4-D kills broadleaf weeds but not most grasses. 2,4-D kills plants by causing the cells in the tissues that carry water and nutrients to divide and grow without stopping. Herbicides that act this way are called auxin-type herbicides.

Question 12

What is Clopyralid and what is it used on and what does it control?

Answer 12

( Trade Names: Transline®,Stinger®, Reclaim®, Curtail®, and Lontrel®) Clopyralid (3,6-dichloro-2-pyridinecarboxylic acid) is a selective herbicide used for control of broadleaf weeds, especially thistles and clovers. Target weeds: annual and perennial broadleaf weeds, esp. knapweeds, thistles, and other members of the sunflower, legume, and knotweed families. Clopyralid is an auxin-mimic type herbicide. It is more selective (kills a more limited range of plants) than some other auxin-mimic herbicides like picloram, triclopyr, or 2,4-D. Like other auxin-mimics, it has little effect on grasses and other monocots, but also does little harm to members of the mustard family (Brassicaceae) and several other groups of broad-leaved plants.

Question 16

What is Dicamba and what is it used on and what does it control?

Answer 16

Group 4
Dicamba is a selective benzoic acid herbicide used to control a wide spectrum of broadleaf weeds. It has a broad application window and can be used as a burn-down, pre- and post-emergence residual herbicide.
- Dicamba is rapidly absorbed by plant leaves, stems, and roots, and works as an auxin agonist by mimicking naturally-occurring plant hormones (i.e., auxins) that regulate many plant processes, such as protein synthesis and cell growth. Dicamba can induce rapid abnormal cell growth and development in the stems, petioles, and leaves of sensitive plants. Dicamba can also limit transpiration and photosynthesis. This leads to irregular cell growth, leaf drop, and starvation, resulting in plant death.
Dicamba is a highly volatile chemical that can damage non-target plant species through spray drift and/or volatilization (vapor drift). Misuse of dicamba products may cause serious damage to non-dicamba-tolerant soybeans, sensitive crops, non-crop plants, and endangered species. Dicamba and 2,4-D may have similar effects on weeds to which they are applied, but they greatly differ in several ways: (1) dicamba controls tough weeds better than 2,4-D, and it is more effective on problem weeds like Canada fleabane and wild buckwheat; (2) fewer weeds are reported resistant to dicamba than 2,4-D,
