Extract

The value of 2,4–dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4–D) for control of broadleaved weeds is well known. It is equally well known that these chemicals can cause serious damage to certain crops. After 10 years of general use in agriculture it is well to review the extent to which 2,4–D has been a source of trouble and to examine regulatory policy with regard to 2,4–D.
