Phytotoxicity and adjuvancy of lactate esters in 2,4-D based agrochemical formulations

摘要

Application of n-propyl lactate, n-butyl lactate and 2-ethylhexyl lactate on tomato seedlings did not result in phytotoxic effects when applied at 0.05 and 0.5% (wt/wt). The results of this study show that lactate esters can strongly enhance the performance of the herbicides 2,4-D-dimethylamine (salt) and 2,4-D-2-ethylhexyl (ester) on Chenopodium album (fat-hen).
