2 4 d Weed Killer

About

Control dandelion, clover, plantain and other troublesome lawn weeds with professional-grade herbicides containing 2,4-D. This collection includes straight 2,4-D concentrates, granular weed killers and multi-ingredient formulas designed for broader weed control in established lawns. While 2,4-D primarily targets broadleaf weeds, some products in this collection combine it with additional active ingredients to control crabgrass, nutsedge and other difficult grassy or broadleaf weeds. Whether you maintain your own property or treat lawns professionally, choosing the right formula starts with identifying the weed and confirming that the product is labeled for your grass type. What Is 2,4-D Weed Killer? 2,4-D, short for 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, is a selective post-emergent herbicide used to control many broadleaf weeds in established turf. It is available in concentrated liquids, ready-to-use sprays, granular products and combination herbicides. When used according to the label, 2,4-D controls susceptible broadleaf weeds without harming compatible established lawn grasses. However, every product has its own approved grass types, application rates and temperature restrictions. How Does 2,4-D Work? 2,4-D is absorbed through the leaves and other actively growing portions of a weed. It moves throughout the plant and disrupts normal growth, causing susceptible weeds to twist, curl, yellow and eventually die. Results are not always immediate. The time required for control depends on the weed species, weather, application rate and growing conditions. Applications generally perform best when weeds are young, actively growing and not severely stressed by drought, heat or cold. What Weeds Does 2,4-D Control? Straight 2,4-D products are primarily used to control broadleaf weeds. Depending on the specific product label, controlled weeds may include: Dandelion White clover Broadleaf and buckhorn plantain Chickweed Henbit Thistle Dock Oxalis Wild onion and wild garlic Many oth
