2,4-D was discovered 75 years ago by Dr. Franklin D Jones, who was looking for a solution to control poison ivy to protect his children.
Today, 2,4-D plays an important role protecting crops, reducing the risk of invasive and poisonous plants, protecting wildlife habitats, protecting infrastructure, and protecting lawn and turfgrass.

Healthy Lawns 2,4-D plays an integral role in modern weed control. |
2,4-D is one of the world’s most studied chemistries. More is known about 2,4-D and how it works than almost any other crop protection tool.
 |
2,4-D is one of the world’s most studied chemistries. |

If all of the academic studies on 2,4-D were stacked on top of one another, They would be taller than Niagra falls. |
 |
2,4-D is a biodegradable compound. It decomposes quickly in the environment. |
For over 75 years, health agencies in over 90 countries around the world have been assessing and regulating 2,4-D, and they have consistently approved it for commercial use.
|
2,4-D is registered for use in 90+ countries worldwide |
The ESPINA Cohort study has published preliminary findings on exposures to herbicides including 2,4-D, which are inconsistent with the existing weight of scientific evidence and regulatory decisions. More than 4,000 peer-reviewed studies have been published on 2,4-D making 2,4-D one of the most studied active ingredients in… During the CropLife America 2020 Annual Meeting, the Industry Task Force II on 2,4-D Research Data’s own Jim Gray was honored with receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award, in memoriam. This award recognizes someone who has dedicated their life to successfully defending the pesticide industry with passion and professionalism. The 2,4-D Research Task Force welcomes Lindsay Thompson as the new executive director. Mrs. Thompson brings extensive experience in government and public relations, and association management in agricultural and science-based organizations.Statement from the 2,4-D Research Task Force
CROPLIFE AMERICA HONORS THE LATE JIM GRAY WITH LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD
