Information AboutPhenoxy Herbicide |

First introduced in 1946, these herbicides were in widespread use in Agriculture by the middle of the 1950s . The best known phenoxy herbicides are 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid (2,4-D) and 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic Acid (2,4,5-T). 2,4,5-T was later learned to contain a Dioxin , 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-para-dioxin (TCDD), and has since been banned in most countries. 2,4-D does not have this problem, and remains one of the most used herbicides in the world. |
