Extract

The discovery of the herbicidal properties of 2,4–dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2, 4–D) created a great impetus in the search for new herbicides. As the herbicidal properties of 2,4–D became more generally known, it was obvious that many closely related chemicals and other organic compounds should be evaluated for their herbicidal properties.
