The Movement, Persistence, and Fate of the Phenoxy Herbicides and TCDD in the Forest

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Residue Reviews ((RECT,volume 80))

Abstract

The phenoxy herbicides 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T), 2- (2,4-dichlorophenoxy) propionic acid (dichlorprop), 2-(2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy)propionic acid (silvex), and 2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid (MCPA) are important tools for weed and brush control.1 They have played important roles in the culture of agricultural crops, forest and rangeland management, and a wide variety of noncropland weed control programs.
