What Temperature Should You Apply 24D

2,4-D should be sprayed at temperatures 60–85℉ (15–30℃). Air temperatures should be at least 60℉ because the majority of weed species are actively growing at this temperature and 2,4-D is most effective against actively growing plants.

When should I put 2,4-D on my lawn?

The best time to apply 2, 4-D weed killer on your lawn is when weeds are still young and starting to grow. This may be during spring, although some weeds germinate in fall and summer. Spray 2,4-D at least 6 weeks after newly seeding or sodding your lawns to prevent retarding the grass.

How long does it take for 2,4-D to kill weeds?

2,4-D requires 14 days to work and show full results, but plants may begin to show signs of wilting and dying within 48 hours after application. This makes 2,4-D a slow-acting herbicide, but it’s worth the wait because it kills weeds so effectively without harming your lawn.
