2,4-D EsterLV4 Herbicide

2,4-D Ester LV4 is another formulation of the 2,4-D herbicide, where "Ester" refers to the ester form of 2,4-D, and "LV4" stands for "low volatility" with a 4-pound concentration per gallon. This ester formulation is known for its high efficacy in penetrating the waxy cuticles of leaves, making it more effective in controlling certain hard-to-kill broadleaf weeds.

However, ester formulations, including LV4, are generally more prone to vapor drift compared to amine formulations, which can potentially damage nearby sensitive crops. The "low volatility" feature of LV4 reduces the risk of this drift compared to older ester versions but is still a consideration during application.

2,4-D Ester LV4 is commonly used in agricultural settings, pasture management, and non-crop areas for controlling invasive or problematic broadleaf weeds.
