Extract

The outstanding success of 2,4-D as a selective herbicide stems from the great susceptibility of many broadleaved (dicotyledonous) weeds to the compound. Applications of 2,4-D which will eliminate many dicots will leave most grass crops relatively unaffected. Several suggestions that have been made for the differences in susceptibility between grasses and broadleaved weeds, including differences in foliar absorption, restricted translocation of the compound in grasses, and differences in detoxification of the 2,4-D molecule.
