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.

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.

  • Quinclorac Absorption and Translocation Characteristics in Quinclorac- and Propanil-Resistant and -Susceptible Barnyardgrass (Echinochloa Crus-Galli ) Biotypes
    Weed Technology 2007 21:683–687 Quinclorac Absorption and Translocation Characteristics in Quinclorac- and Propanil-Resistant and -Susceptible Barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli ) Biotypes M. L. Lovelace, R. E. Talbert, R. E. Hoagland, and E. F. Scherder* Studies were initiated to evaluate absorption, translocation, and distribution of 14C-quinclorac in propanil- and quinclorac-resistant (R-BYG) and -susceptible (S-BYG) barnyardgrass. No differential absorption of 14C-quinclorac was observed between R-BYG and S-BYG, but more 14C remained in the treated leaf of S-BYG (57% of total absorbed) compared with the R-BYG leaf (34% of total absorbed) at 72 h after treatment (HAT). After 12 HAT, 20 and 15% of the amount absorbed had been translocated basipetally by R-BYG and S-BYG, respectively. At 72 HAT, 27 and 17% of the total absorbed 14C had been translocated acropetally by R-BYG and S-BYG, respectively. The levels of 14C above the treated leaf continued to increase throughout the duration of the experiment in R-BYG while levels of 14C above the treated leaf in S-BYG remained relatively constant. Seven percent more of the total absorbed 14C was exuded from roots of R-BYG than S-BYG at 72 HAT. Although differential translocation was observed between R-BYG and S-BYG, it is unclear whether this difference is a cause of quinclorac resistance or an effect of some other physiological process. Further research is needed to determine if differential translocation is due to metabolism or other physiological factors. Nomenclature: Quinclorac; barnyardgrass, Echinochloa crus-galli (L.) Beauv.

  • List of Industrial Herbicides Research
    4/6/2020 Herbicide - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics Herbicide Herbicides are a broad class of pesticides that are used to remove nuisance plants, such as grasses and weeds, that may compromise the growth and yield of desired crops that are in close proximity. From: Handbook of Clinical Neurology, 2015 Related terms: Toxic Injury, Protein, Fungicide, Pesticide, Glyphosate, Insecticide, Toxicity, Atrazine, Simazine, Paraquat Herbicides M. Manno, in Human Toxicology, 1996 INTRODUCTION Herbicides are chemicals used to kill or damage unwanted plants or parts of them. The term derives from the Latin words herbs and caedo, meaning plant-killer. Since the early observation in 1895–1897 of the selective herbicidal properties of copper sulphate against Sinapis arvensis [1], many chemicals have been used or tested as weed-killers. Among these are sulphuric acid, sodium chlorate, borate and arsenite, arsenic trioxide and dinitro-orthocresol. In the middle and late 1930s a growing interest in developing selective herbicidal properties stimulated research for new compounds, leading to the introduction, a few years later, of a class of effective chemicals, the phenoxyacids. In the 1950s another group of compounds, the triazines, with selective herbicidal properties and a much lower acute toxicity than that of phenoxyacids, was developed. In 1962 paraquat, the first of an important class of non-selective contact herbicides, the bipyridylium compounds, was introduced. In the last decades the production and use of modern herbicides has increased faster than those of any other class of pesticides. The world production of herbicides is more than double that of all insecticides, and more than triple that of fungicides.
