2,4-D Sodium Salt 80% W.P. >> 1. A selective, systemic, hormone, weed killer taken up by plant through leaves, roots and more through the vascular system of plants. 2. It has been found effective as pre-emergent weedicide. 3. A rain free period of 6-10 hours from application are adequate for full absorption of the chemical. 4. 2,4-D Sodium Salt is quite effective for aquatic herbs without causing any harm to fishes in general when used in proper dose. 5. Rain, sub-surface water flow, soil capillary etc. always help residual pesticides to find way to water resource but 2,4-D Sodium Salt is much safer in this respect. 6. On unit acreage, use 2,4-D Sodium Salt would be much cheaper than that of any other herbicides. 7. 2,4-D Sodium Salt is used as raw material for Esters and Amine. 8. It is also an established plant growth regulatorbesides being a powerful (but safe) systemic herbicidal agent.
