2, 4-D Amine Salt

1. Aeromine, 2,4-Dimethyl Amine Salt is a selective systematic post emergent herbicide. It is in liquid state and does not require long time for stirring. Aeromin is fully soluble in all proportions and therefore is well adopted to low gallonage spray equipment, even at high rates of application. 2. Aeromine is almost Non-Polar 2,4-D formulation which results in rapid penetration. Any 2,4-D when applied to the foliage, penetrates the cuticle by diffusion. Since cuticle surface is lipoidal (non-polar) in nature and mineral salts of phenoxy acid are polar, they do not match each other leading to slow penetration. Aeromine being non-polar penetrates the cuticle without any assistance from non-herbicidal compounds. Hence there are rare chances of photo decomposition in the plant surface. 3. Aeromine is a safe herbicide in connection with accumulation in soil and phytotoxicity. Being highly soluble in water it leaches more faster than the mineral salts of 2,4-D and is then absorbed by the soil organic matter or clay colloids. The absorbed Aeromine is then inactivated by Arthobacterium and Pseudomonas present in the soil. The maximum persistency in soil is one month. 4. Aeromine being fully soluble in water is compatible with Glyphostate, Paraquat, Diuron for total control of a mixed population.
