2,4-D Preplant Use on Full-Season, No-Till Soybeans
2,4-D is now labeled for use prior to planting soybeans. Use the following chart to determine the amount of 2,4-D to use and the time interval needed between application and planting soybeans. The following is a list of restrictions and limitations for the preplant use of 2,4-D on soybeans:
- Do not apply when weather conditions, such as temperature air inversions or wind, favor drift from treated areas to susceptible plants.
- Do not exceed the 2,4-D rates given on the product label.
- Do not apply 2,4-D prior to planting soybeans if you are not prepared to accept the results of soybean injury, including possible loss of stand and yield.
- Do not replant fields treated with 2,4-D in the same growing season with crops other than those labeled for 2,4-D preplant use.
- Do not mow or cultivate weeds prior to treating with 2,4-D or poor control may result.
- Do not cut for feed or graze soybeans grown in fields that have received a 2,4-D preplant application.
