DISCOVER THE ENDURING LEGACY AND VITAL ROLE OF THE HERBICIDE 2,4-D IN AGRICULTURAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT

Originally patented by Dr. Franklin D. Jones over 75 years ago to protect his children from poison ivy, 2,4-D continues to meet today’s stringent scientific standards for safety and is a cornerstone of sustainable farming and land management.

2,4-D is one of the most widely used and studied herbicides in the world. Regulators in over 90 countries have reviewed the safety and efficacy profile of 2,4-D and registered it for use to protect crops and greenspaces from invasive and damaging weeds.

Well known for its effectiveness in reducing a wide range of broadleaf weeds, farmers use 2,4-D to enhance crop yields and facilitate best management practices such as no-till and cover crops. These practices contribute to lower carbon emissions and are recognized for their environmental benefits by global authorities including the USDA and the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

Whether safeguarding crops, improving pastureland, or managing forest ecosystems, 2,4-D is an essential, cost-effective tool that supports both food security and the environment.^1 2
