2,4,5-T sodium salt

Description:

2,4,5-T sodium salt, known chemically as sodium 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetate, is a herbicide that belongs to the phenoxy herbicide family. It is primarily used for controlling broadleaf weeds in various agricultural settings. The compound is a white to off-white crystalline solid that is soluble in water, which facilitates its application in aqueous formulations. Its mode of action involves mimicking natural plant hormones, leading to uncontrolled growth and eventual death of the targeted weeds. 2,4,5-T sodium salt has been subject to regulatory scrutiny due to its potential environmental impact and health concerns, particularly its association with dioxin contamination during its production. As a result, its use has been restricted or banned in several countries. Safety measures are essential when handling this substance, as it can pose risks to human health and non-target organisms. Proper storage and disposal practices are crucial to mitigate its environmental footprint.
