The primary active ingredient in the herbicide formulation “720g/L 2,4-D Amine Salt” is 2,4-D amine salt, a synthetic auxin that mimics natural plant hormones. DAS 72  is commonly applied in various agricultural settings, including the cultivation of specific fruits and vegetables. It is notably used in orchards for fruit trees such as apples, pears, and peaches, providing effective broadleaf weed control to maintain the health and productivity of these crops. Additionally, it finds application in vegetable crops like corn, soybeans, sugar beets, and potatoes, where broadleaf weed competition can significantly impact yields.

In horticulture, the herbicide is employed to manage unwanted vegetation around ornamental plants and shrubs. The selectivity of DAS 72 in targeting broadleaf plants allows for precise weed control without adversely affecting the growth and development of desirable crops. However, it’s important to note that the specific crops and recommended application rates can vary, and users should refer to the product label for detailed guidelines on the appropriate use in different agricultural and horticultural settings.
