2-4-d for brush

rrman61 · May 7, 2016

I have 2-4-d to kill brush along my fence line but can"t read the label anymore.can someone give me the right oz.per gallon of water mix?

Really tough to suggest because manufacturers make product at many different mixing ratios. Weed-be-Gone mixes at 2oz per gallon. If brand is unknown, start there and see if it works. Give it 3 days!! Jim

regular 2-4-D, for broadleave weeds in pasture is about 1 1/2 pts per acre, in 15 gallon of water, for tough weeds.

But sounds like you are talking some type of brush killer, and that is anybodys guess as to what % mix it is.

Good luck, Gene

I use 2.5 oz. per gallon.

Its been a few years since I actually read the label but I never remember it being used to kill brush. It kills broadleaf weeds is what I use it for. Although you may want to mix it in with a brush killer to kill broadleaf plants that are growing in with the brush. I normally mix a 2-3 pints to the acre for my use. I'll mix about three ounces per gallon in a hand sprayer to kill dandelions around the yard. I would still recommend getting someone to read the label for you before you use it.
As far as it being outlawed I've never heard of that. I just brought a 2.5 gallon jug at TSC a week ago here in Michigan. All these lawn care company's are using lawn sprays that contain it in some form or another.

I think you are thinking of 2,4,5-t... the nasty part of agent orange.

Maybe I was unclear the label is unreadable

Don't waste your time with 2,4-d on brush- at best it will burn it back, but won't kill the roots. There is something that will kill brush, but I can't recall the name. Used some on blackberries, it got a complete kill.

I used to use 245T brush killer and it worked real good. I don't know if they sell it anymore. It maybe worked too good so they couldn't sell enough.

Illegal! Also known a Agent Orange! One of the reasons our VA system is overloaded, many Vietnam era vets are having medical problems because of it.

Someone mentioned the name I couldn't remember, in the post below. Crossbow.
I've heard Tordon may be "too good"- can't get over roots of desired trees or it will kill them, has a longer residual, etc. Probably OK in a large open area, with just the brush you want to eliminate.

MINIMUM of 2.5 oz per gallon or your wasting your time.

Here's a link to the label, if you're talking about Hi-Yield brand Selective Weed Killer 2,4-D:

http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/msds/hi%20yield%202,4-d%20label.pdf.

It's mainly a broadleaf herbicide, but page 9 has the instructions for use on non-crop areas: To control small areas of woody plants, such as Willows, Honeysuckle, Virginia creeper,Alders and others susceptible to 2,4-D, use 2 to 4 gallons (1 to 2 quarts) in 100 gallons (12.5 gallons) water; spray to thoroughly wet plants when in full leaf. Retreat as necessary for control of regrowth and seedlings. In general, it is better to cut tall woody growth and spray suckers when 2 to 4 feet high. Maximum rate per application is 4.75 gallons per acre per year, limited to 1 application per year.
