2,4-D 35% + MCPA 35% SL Herbicide

Dual-Action Systemic Herbicide for Broadleaf Weed Suppression

2,4-D 35% + MCPA 35% SL is a powerful selective post-emergence herbicide formulated to control a wide range of annual and perennial broadleaf weeds in wheat, barley, oats, rye, pastures, and turf environments. By combining two phenoxy carboxylic acid actives—2,4-D and MCPA—this formulation mimics natural auxin hormones in weeds, leading to uncontrolled growth, cell disruption, and plant death within days of application.

This soluble liquid formulation (SL) ensures rapid absorption through foliage and translocation throughout the plant’s vascular system. Symptoms such as leaf curling, stem twisting, and necrosis become visible within hours, with complete weed control achieved in 7–14 days. The product is highly selective in cereal crops and delivers excellent crop safety when used at recommended rates.

Key Technical Features:

• Mode of Action: Synthetic auxin (HRAC Group 4)
• Formulation Type: Soluble Liquid (SL)
• Active Ingredients:
  • 2,4-D (35%) – for deep-rooted and perennial broadleaf species
  • MCPA (35%) – for enhanced systemic action and broader spectrum control
• Target Weeds: Pigweed, amaranth, thistle, wild mustard, lambsquarters, plantain, and more
• Application Timing: Best applied at the 2–6 leaf stage of weed development

Whether you are managing large-scale cereal production or maintaining pasture quality, this dual-component herbicide delivers cost-effective, fast-acting, and scalable broadleaf weed control.

As your manufacturing partner, POMAIS supports long-term market expansion with:

• Active ingredient flexibility (formulation ratio customization)
• Custom bottle types and label language options
• Prompt delivery and 100% batch quality control
• Regional compliance knowledge for smoother product registration and clearance

Mode of Action – Synthetic Auxin Disruption for Systemic Weed Elimination

2,4-D and MCPA are both classified under HRAC Group 4 (Synthetic Auxins), which act by mimicking natural plant hormones—specifically indole-3-acetic acid (IAA)—to disrupt normal cell growth in susceptible broadleaf weeds.

Once absorbed through the leaves, the herbicide is rapidly translocated via the plant’s xylem and phloem to active growing regions such as shoot tips and root meristems. This abnormal hormonal stimulation leads to:

• Uncontrolled cell elongation and division
• Disruption of vascular tissue development
• Twisting, curling, and cupping of leaves and stems
• Inhibited root formation
• Necrosis and eventual plant death

The dual-active formulation allows for enhanced systemic activity:

• 2,4-D provides strong control of perennial and deep-rooted broadleaf species.
• MCPA complements with rapid top-down translocation, ensuring fast knockdown of annuals.

This combined hormone disruption mechanism enables the herbicide to tackle a broader weed spectrum more effectively than single-active products, while maintaining crop safety in wheat, barley, oats, and other grasses or monocots, which are naturally tolerant to auxin-type herbicides.

Target Weeds & Application Scenarios – Broad-Spectrum Control Across Cereal Systems

2,4-D 35% + MCPA 35% SL is a post-emergent selective herbicide developed to control a wide range of broadleaf weeds in cereal crops, forage systems, and managed turf. Its dual-active formulation ensures reliable suppression of both annual and perennial dicot species that typically compete with crops for essential resources.

Key Broadleaf Weeds Controlled:

• Amaranthus spp. (pigweed, redroot amaranth)
• Chenopodium spp. (lambsquarters)
• Cirsium spp. (thistles)
• Sonchus spp. (sow thistle)
• Polygonum spp. (smartweed, knotweed)
• Taraxacum officinale (dandelion)
• Plantago spp. (plantains)
• Convolvulus arvensis (field bindweed)
• Brassica kaber (wild mustard)
• And other common broadleaf weed species found in cereal-growing regions

These species are especially problematic during early crop establishment and can significantly reduce yields if left unmanaged.

Application Scenarios:

• Cereal crops: wheat, barley, oats, and rye
• Forage and silage systems: grass hayfields and pastures
• Rangeland and non-crop areas: fallow fields, roadsides, and drainage zones
• Turf and managed grass areas: golf courses, sports fields, parks, and lawns

Crop Selectivity and Usage Considerations:

This formulation is safe for use in monocotyledon crops but should not be applied to broadleaf crops such as legumes, vegetables, or fruit trees. Always follow label instructions and conduct small-scale compatibility tests when applying in new environments or in tank mixes.

Usage Methods & Recommended Dosage – Application Guidelines for Optimal Weed Control

To achieve maximum efficacy with 2,4-D 35% + MCPA 35% SL, proper timing, dosage, and application techniques are essential. This herbicide is formulated for post-emergent foliar application and should be applied during the early growth stages of broadleaf weeds for best results.

Application Timing:

• Apply when target broadleaf weeds are at the 2–6 leaf stage, actively growing and not under drought or other stress.
• For cereal crops, apply between tillering and early stem elongation to ensure crop safety and efficient weed suppression.
• Avoid spraying during extreme temperatures or within hours of expected rainfall.

Recommended Dosage:

• 0.6 to 1.2 liters per hectare (L/ha) depending on:
  • Weed species and density
  • Growth stage of both crop and weed
  • Climatic and soil conditions

Dilution & Spray Volume:

• Dilute in 200–400 liters of clean water per hectare for ground application.
• Ensure thorough coverage of weed foliage using a calibrated flat-fan nozzle sprayer for even distribution.
• Agitate spray solution continuously to prevent sedimentation and ensure uniformity.

Best Practices:

• Do not apply in windy conditions to prevent drift to sensitive crops.
• Avoid overlapping or excessive dosage, which may cause crop stress.
• Observe pre-harvest intervals (PHI) and crop-specific restrictions as per local regulatory guidelines.

Tank Mix Compatibility – Designed for Integrated Weed Management Programs

In modern farming operations, efficiency and flexibility are essential. 2,4-D 35% + MCPA 35% SL is designed to offer excellent tank mix compatibility with a wide range of agrochemicals, making it a practical choice for integrated weed and pest management programs in cereal production systems.

Compatible With:

• Other post-emergent herbicides, especially those targeting grassy weeds, such as clodinafop-propargyl, fenoxaprop-P-ethyl, and quizalofop-P-ethyl
• Foliar fertilizers and micronutrient products, enabling combined nutrition and weed control in a single application
• Insecticides used for aphid, armyworm, or other pest management in cereal crops

When mixed correctly, these combinations can improve field efficiency, reduce spraying costs, and minimize equipment downtime without compromising efficacy.

Best Practices for Mixing:

• Always perform a jar test before large-scale application to check for physical compatibility (e.g., sedimentation, separation).
• Add products to the spray tank in the recommended order: water → soluble herbicide (2,4-D + MCPA) → emulsifiable concentrates or oils → surfactants.
• Ensure constant agitation during mixing and spraying to maintain a uniform solution.
• Avoid mixing with strongly acidic or highly alkaline products to prevent chemical degradation.

Important Notes:

• Do not mix with sulfonylurea herbicides without prior compatibility testing, as interactions may affect selectivity or crop safety.
• Avoid combining with broad-spectrum desiccants or highly phytotoxic products during sensitive crop stages.

By ensuring high compatibility, 2,4-D 35% + MCPA 35% SL supports versatile application strategies while aligning with good agricultural practice (GAP) and integrated weed management (IWM) protocols.
