Extract

Foliage applications of 2,4–dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4–D) to marabú (Dichrostachys nutans), a woody weed found in Cuba (3), generally give complete defoliation with varying amounts of stem kill. The older, more basal areas are not killed and the roots are rarely damaged by single applications of 2,4–D. Presumably therefore, little if any of the herbicide moves downward after these applications.
