2,4-D Amine Selective Post Emergent Herbicide, manufactured by Alligare, is an easy-to-use post-emergent weed killer designed to eliminate unwanted broadleaf weeds, brush, and trees.

This effective emulsifiable concentrate contains the active ingredient 2,4-D, which controls weeds and is safe for most turf and lawn grass areas. As an effective selective herbicide, it will quickly eliminate broadleaf weeds and brush like carpetweed without harming foliage in various seasons.

This effective herbicide will eliminate troublesome weeds in various application areas, such as where sensitive crops are nearby or most grasses, without causing unnecessary injury. This versatile product may also eliminate aquatic weeds, including water hyacinths.

Tools Needed

To use 2,4-D Amine, a backpack sprayer, handheld pump sprayer, or skid sprayer is needed. We suggest using a handheld pump sprayer for spot treatment applications on small ornamental turf and lawn areas.

How to Use

• Step 1: Determine how much 2,4-D Amine to use by measuring the square footage of the treatment area. To do this, measure the length and width of the treatment area in feet, then multiply them together (length X width = square footage). 2,4-D Amine should be mixed at 2 to 3.16 pints per acre for general use on ornamental turfs. Small applications with a hand sprayer break down to 0.72 to 1.1 fl. oz. per 1,000 square feet. For example, if you have a 2,000 sq. ft. yard to treat, you must mix 1.44 to 2.2 fl. oz. in 2 gallons of water.
• Step 2:  Fill your sprayer halfway with the required amount of water. Add the correct amount of 2,4-D Amine to the spray tank and mix by shaking the tank. Mixing 2,4-D with a surfactant to enhance weed control is also suggested, so this is the time to add that in and agitate the sprayer.
• Step 3: Apply the 2,4-D mixture to areas with unwanted vegetation, preferably on a fan spray setting, to ensure even coverage. Do not apply more than 100 ounces of 2,4-D Amine per acre in one season.

Where to Use

2,4-D Amine Selective Herbicide can be used on residential, commercial, and industrial turfs and lawns. It is ideal for golf courses, cemeteries, sports fields, and other grassy areas. It can be applied to sod farms, rangelands, grass fields, croplands, non-cropland areas, and other areas where broadleaf weeds and unwanted brush are growing.

Some dichondra, bentgrasses, carpetgrass, buffalograss, and St. Augustine grasses may be injured.

When to Use

For best results, this should be applied when targeted vegetation is actively growing during warm and calm weather conditions.

Do not apply to newly seeded areas until grass is well established.

Safety Information

2,4-D Amine is safe to use around children and pets when applied according to the product label instructions. Always wear the proper personal protective equipment (PPE) when mixing and applying this product.

Do not allow livestock to graze on treated areas or feed on hay treated with 2,4-D Amine.

Do not allow people or pets to enter the treated area until sprays have dried.

Special Considerations

The area in which 2,4-D Amine Selective Post Emergent Herbicide will be applied and the type of vegetation being controlled will determine the application rate and application method. Always read the product label before making applications to be sure the proper amount of product is being applied with the proper application method.
