VAST 24-D Ester 1L Post-Emergent Herbicide

What It IsA selective systemic herbicide formulated as an emulsifiable concentrate (EC) containing: 2,4‑D isobutyl ester at approximately 491 g/L (equivalent to 378 g/L acid)Used post‑emergence to control broadleaf weeds and sedges in crops like rice, corn, and sugarcane How It WorksSystemic action: Uptaken by foliage and roots, moved to growing points. Causes rapid, uncontrolled growth, stem twisting, leaf distortion, and weed death Ester form: Absorbs quickly due to lipid solubility and is compatible with other herbicides ️ Environmental & Safety ConsiderationsVolatility: Ester types can vaporize, drifting into non-target areas—avoid application on hot, still days. Use amine forms if drift is a concern Aquatic toxicity: Moderately toxic to fish and aquatic organisms; follow buffer guidelines and avoid spraying close to waterways Human health: Low acute toxicity, but handling with PPE is critical. Misuse has been linked to endocrine and reproductive effects in high exposures
