2-4D ON FARM—INCREASES YIELDS, SAVES LABOR 
Whether your crop is in grasses, grain 
or row crops there is a 2-4D solution 
that will conquer weeds and mean 
more money to you at harvest time. 
When to Use 2-4D 
PASTURE AND TURF—Should be 
sprayed early in the spring to control 
susceptible weeds. Dosages can be reg- 
ulated so that White Dutch and Ladino 
Clovers will not be permanently af- 
fected. Legumes’ loss however must be 
exnected. It is generally considered 
more economical to treat pastures at 
least twice during the season than to 
treat once and allow later weeds to 
seed. 
2-4D FOR SMALL GRAINS — Wheat, 
Oats, Barley and Rye may be sprayed 
at any time after tillering (stooling) is 
complete, except during the “boot’’ and 
blossom stages. 
FIELD CORN is most resistant when less 
than 6” high or more than 3’ high. 
Spraying should be done during these 
resistant periods if possible, CAUTION 
—treatment at other periods may cause 
temporary effects such as leaf curl and 
stem bending or permanent effects such 
as twisting of the brace roots. After 
spraying do not cultivate until brittle- 
ness disappears.
