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.

Cyanobacterial strains showed gradual inhibition in growth with increasing dosage of herbicides. Both wild type and MHR strain tolerated < 6.0 mg L -1 of atrazine (purified), < 2.0 mg L -1 of atrazine (formulated) and < 0.4 mg L -1 of DCMU indicating similar level of herbicide tolerance. Atrazine (pure) (8.0 mg L -1) and 4.0 mg L -1 of atrazine (formulated) were growth inhibitory concentrations (lethal) for both wild type and MHR strain indicating formulated atrazine was more toxic than the purified form. Comparatively lower concentrations of DCMU were found to be lethal for wild type and MHR strain, respectively. Thus, between the two herbicides tested DCMU was more growth toxic than atrazine. At sublethal dosages of herbicides, photosynthetic O 2 evolution showed highest inhibition followed by chlorophyll a, phycobhiliproteins and heterocyst differentiation as compared to carotenoid, protein and respiratory O 2 uptake.

Recommendations are not made concerning safe use of products nor is any guarantee or warranty of results or effects of the products intended or implied. ii Chemical weed and brush control with herbicides is an important land management practice in modern agriculture and forestry. In some cases, herbicides are applied directly to bodies of water for aquatic weed control. More commonly, herbicides are applied to lands adjacent to waterways for general weed and brush control. The responsible applicator will avoid damage to fishery resources by being fully aware of a particular herbicides potential hazard to fish. Herbicide applications should be considered hazardous to fish when there is the probability fish will be exposed to herbicide concen- trations which are harmful. This bulletin offers information that will aid in selecting the particular herbicides and formulations of least hazard to fish considering the toxicity of the herbicide and the poten- tial for its entry into streams, lakes, or ponds. Entry of Herbicides into the Aquatic Environment In aquatic weed control, the effective concentration of herbicide in the water depends on the rate of application, the rate of the spread of the chemical, the size and chemical composition of the body of water, the rate of degradation or adsorption of the chemical on sediments, and the rate of mixing of treated water with untreated water.

  • Increasing the Efficacy and Safety of Butachlor and Its 2,4-D Mixture in Direct Wet-Seeded Rice (Oryza Sat/Val.)
    Trans. Nat. Acad. Science & TechnoL 1984.6:43-50 INCREASING THE EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF BUTACHLOR AND ITS 2,4-D MIXTURE IN DIRECT WET-SEEDED RICE (ORYZA SAT/VAL.) Ponciano M. Halos* and R.W. Schumacher** "'Monsanto Philippines, Inc. "'"'Monsanto Singapore Company (Pte.) Ltd. ABSTRACT On pre-germinated wet seeded rice, the 24 days before seeding (DBS) treatments for butachlor (1 kg. aj./ha.) and 6-8 DBS treatment for the butachlor + 2,4-D combination (0.15 + 0.5 kg. a.i./ha.) provided improved crop safely, bet­ ter control of grasses, sedges and broadleaves and higher yields compared with the 6-9 days after seeding herbicide treatments. Screen (R) solution, when properly coated on seeds before germination prior to sowing at 1.3 ml./kg. and at higher concentrations effectively served as rice seed safener in field plots treated with the increased concentrations of 2 kg. a.i./ha. butachlor and 1 + 0.67 kg. a.i./ha. butachlor + 2,4-D even when these herbicides were applied at 2 days before seeding. futroduction Direct seeding of pre-germinated rice under puddled condition offers several advantages over transplanting. These include dramatic reduction in production costs and manpower requirements and increased frequency of planting. The latter is especially relevant in the "Kabsaka Program" on 235,000 hectares in Iloilo wherein two rice plantings are targeted per wet season to realize increased income for the farmers. This necessitates direct seeding as the practical approach due to the time constraints within the seven months wet period. Also, with the opening up of the Magat River Irrigation Project in Northem Luzon, there will be very limited time to plant the additional 75-80 thousand hectares.

The comments received by that date are compiled in Annex 2 to this opinion. After the closure of the public consultation, the Committee for Risk Assessment (RAC) noted that the data from the repeated dose toxicity studies as well as from the reproductive toxicity studies indicated that classification for reproductive toxicity should be considered for acetochlor . As the Dossier Submitter initially did not propose classification for reproductive toxicity, and in order to strengthen the information base, ECHA launched an additional public consultation focussing on the potential reproductive toxicity of acetochlor. The consultation started on 18 September 2014 and finished on 6 October 2014.

  • Classification of Herbicides
    Title of the course : Weed Management Credit: 3(2+1) Class : 3rd Year IInd Semester Title of the topic : Principles of weed management College : Krishi vigyan Kendra,College of Agriculture, Rewa, JNKVV, Jabalpur Name of Teacher : Dr. (Mrs.) Smita Singh Classification of Herbicides Herbicides: Chemical method of weed control is very effective in certain cases and have great scope provided the herbicides are cheap, efficient and easily available. The chemicals used for killing the weeds or inhibiting growth of weeds are called herbicides (Weedicides). Classification of Herbicides: Herbicides are classified in different ways: A) First Group Chemical Herbicides: I) Classification of herbicides according to chemical composition. II) Classification of herbicides according to their use. III) Classification of herbicides based on time of application. IV) Classification of herbicides according to Formulation. V) Classification of herbicides according to residual effect. B) Second Group – Bio herbicides C) Third Group herbicidal mixtures. Classification of herbicide I) Classification of Herbicide Based on Chemical Nature or Composition Compounds having chemical affinities are grouped together. This is useful in liting and characterising herbicides. i) Inorganic Herbicides:Contain no carbon actions in their molecules. These were the first chemicals used for weed control before the introduction of the organic compounds, example are: a) Acids:Arsenic acid, arsenious acid, arsenic trioxide sulphuric acid. b) Salts:Borax, copper sulphate, ammonium sulphate, Na chlorate , Na arsenite , copper nitrate. ii) Organic Herbicides:Oils and non oils contain carbon and hydrogen in their molecules. a) Oils: Diesel oil, standard solvent, xylene-type, aromatic oils, polycyclic , aromatic oils etc. b) Aliphatics:Dalapon, TCA, Acrolein, Glyphosphate methyl bromide.

DHEW (NIOSH) Publication No. 78-174 PREFACE The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 emphasizes the need for standards to protect the health and provide for the safety of workers occupationally exposed to an ever-increasing number of potential hazards. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has implemented a formal system of research, with priorities determined on the basis of specified indices, to provide relevant data from which valid criteria for effective standards can be derived. Recommended standards for occupational exposure, which are the result of this work, are based on the effects of exposure on health. The Secretary of Labor will weigh these recommendations along with other considerations, such as feasibility and means of implementation, in developing regulatory standards. Successive reports will be presented as research and epideiriologic studies are completed and as sampling and analytical methods are developed. Criteria and standards will be reviewed periodically to ensure continuing protection of workers.
