Usage

General Description

Isooctyl (2,4-dichlorophenoxy)acetate is a chemical compound commonly used as a herbicide or plant growth regulator due to its properties as an auxin mimic. It is a derivative of phenoxy acetic acid, containing two isomers of chlorine and an isooctyl ester group. It is primarily applied to a wide range of crops to control broadleaf weeds. The compound works by mimicking a plant hormone, which leads to uncontrolled growth and eventually the death of the weed. Its use comes with some environmental concerns, as it can leach into groundwater and potentially affect non-target species.
