2,4-D is the herbicide of choice by the Bank's neighbor to control dandelion. But what formulation would you choose.

 
2,4-D
Amine formulation
Wiser Choice!

The amine formulation of 2,4-D is less volatile than the ester formulation. With a temperature of 92 degree the potential vapor drift is high. Many labels will have a maximum temperature that the product can be used in.

Many trees and broadleaf plants are sensitive to growth regulators such as 2,4-D. Desired trees and plants can show strapped and puckered leaves due to exposure of growth regulator herbicides.

It is illegal to drift onto another person's property. Damaging that 100-year old oak can lead to law suit.
