Description

Fitone CAS NO 502-69-2 is a high-purity chemical compound, also known as 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), a synthetic auxin widely used as a plant growth regulator and herbicide. Its primary value lies in its potent and selective herbicidal activity, making it a cornerstone for controlling broadleaf weeds in various agricultural and non-crop settings. This product is essential for manufacturers in the agrochemical industry, as well as for research institutions focusing on plant physiology and herbicide development.

Application

• Selective Herbicide Formulations: Primary active ingredient in post-emergence herbicides for controlling broadleaf weeds in cereal crops (e.g., wheat, corn, rice), turf, and pastures.
• Plant Growth Regulator: Used in controlled concentrations to manage fruit set, prevent premature fruit drop in orchards, and for rooting of cuttings in horticulture.
• Industrial Vegetation Management: Key component in weed control programs for forestry, roadside, and utility right-of-way maintenance.
• Research & Development: Serves as a critical standard and reagent in agricultural research for studying auxin action, herbicide resistance, and developing new formulations.
• Lawn Care Products: Incorporated into professional and consumer-grade lawn care products for dandelion and clover control.
• Aquatic Weed Control: Used in specific, regulated formulations for managing unwanted vegetation in certain water bodies.
