Genfarm 2,4 DB Herbicide is a selective post emergent herbicide formulated for the control of a range of broadleaf weeds in legume-based pastures and certain undersown cereal crops. It is used where broadleaf weed control is required while maintaining grass and pasture species, when applied according to the directions for use.
Specifications
• Active Constituent: 500g/L 2,4 DB (dimethylamine salt)
• Pack Size: 20L
• Formulation: Soluble liquid herbicide
• Product Type: Selective post emergent herbicide
• Herbicide Group: Group 4 herbicide class
• Manufacturer: Genfarm
Mode of Action
The active ingredient, 2,4 DB, is a phenoxy herbicide that acts as a synthetic plant growth regulator. After application, it is absorbed by plant leaves and shoots and translocated throughout the weed’s tissues. It disrupts normal growth, causing abnormal cell division and elongation in susceptible weed species, resulting in growth distortion and eventual weed control.
Key Features & Benefits

How does 2,4 DB work in the plant?
2,4 DB is a phenoxy herbicide that acts as a synthetic plant growth regulator. Once absorbed through leaves and shoots, it moves throughout the weed's tissues, disrupting normal growth and causing abnormal cell division and elongation in susceptible broadleaf weeds, which eventually leads to weed control. Grasses and desirable pasture species are generally safe when the product is applied according to directions.
