It is the most widely used herbicide in the world, and the third most commonly used in North America.[1] 2,4-D is also an important synthetic auxin, often used in laboratories for plant research and as a supplement in plant cell culture media such as MS medium. History 2,4-D was developed during World War II by a British team at Rothamsted Experimental Station, under the leadership of Judah Hirsch Quastel, aiming to increase crop yields for a nation at war.[citation needed] When it was commercially released in 1946, it became the first successful selective herbicide and allowed for greatly enhanced weed control in wheat, maize (corn), rice, and similar cereal grass crop, because it only kills dicots, leaving behind monocots. Mechanism of herbicide action 2,4-D is a synthetic auxin, which is a class of plant growth regulators.

Clopyralid, Case Number 7212 Dear Madam/Sir: These comments are submitted on behalf of Beyond Pesticides, Beyond Toxics, Center for Food Safety, Hawai’i Alliance for Progressive Action, Hawai'i SEED, LEAD for Pollinators, Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association, Maryland Pesticide Education Network, Northeast Organic Farming Association—Massachusetts Chapter, Northwest Center for Alternatives to Pesticides, People and Pollinators Action Network, Real Organic Project, Sierra Club, Toxic Free NC, Women’s Voices for the Earth. Founded in 1981 as a national, grassroots, membership organization that represents community-based organizations and a range of people seeking to bridge the interests of consumers, farmers and farmworkers, Beyond Pesticides advances improved protections from pesticides and alternative pest management strategies that reduce or eliminate a reliance on pesticides. Our membership and network span the 50 states and the world. EPA’s proposed interim decision (PID) on the weed killer clopyralid is inadequate to protect property, nontarget plants, and pollinators from exposure to the chemical. Clopyralid poses unreasonable adverse effects that cannot be remedied by EPA’s proposed fixes. It should not be reregistered. Clopyralid has a long history of causing environmental and property damage through drift, runoff, use of treated plant material (such as straw or grass clippings) for mulch or compost, contaminated irrigation water, and urine or manure from animals consuming treated vegetation. Clopyralid (3,6-dichloro-2-pyridinecarboxylic acid) is an herbicide used to control broadleaf weeds on nonresidential lawns and turf, range, pastures, right-of ways and on several crops.

  • Clopyralid 7B.1
    Clopyralid 7b.1 CLOPYRALID M. Tu, C. Hurd, R. Robison & J.M. Randall Herbicide Basics Synopsis Clopyralid is an auxin-mimic type herbicide. It is more Chemical formula: 3,6- selective (kills a more limited range of plants) than some dichloro-pyridinecarboxylic other auxin-mimic herbicides like picloram, triclopyr, or acid 2,4-D. Like other auxin-mimics, it has little effect on grasses and other monocots, but also does little harm to Herbicide Family: members of the mustard family (Brassicaceae) and several Pyridine (Picolinic Acid) other groups of broad-leaved plants. Clopyralid controls Target weeds: annual and many annual and perennial broadleaf weeds, particularly of perennial broadleaf weeds, esp. the Asteraceae (sunflower family), Fabaceae (legume knapweeds, thistles, and other family), Solanaceae (nightshade family), Polygonaceae members of the sunflower, (knotweed family), and Violaceae (violet family). It is legume, and knotweed families chemically similar to picloram, but clopyralid has a shorter half-life, is more water-soluble, and has a lower adsorption Forms: salt & ester capacity than picloram. Clopyralid’s half-life in the Formulations: SL, WG environment averages one to two months and ranges up to one year. It is degraded almost entirely by microbial Mode of Action: Auxin mimic metabolism in soils and aquatic sediments. Clopyralid is not Water Solubility: 1,000 ppm degraded by sunlight or hydrolysis. The inability of clopyralid to bind with soils and its persistence implies that Adsorption potential: low clopyralid has the potential to be highly mobile and a Primary degradation mech: contamination threat to water resources and non-target plant Slow microbial metabolism species, although no extensive offsite movement has been documented.
