Answer 1

2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid is an organic compound with the chemical formula C₈H₆Cl₂O₃. It is a systemic herbicide which selectively kills most broadleaf weeds by causing uncontrolled growth in them, but leaves most grasses such as cereals, lawn turf, and grassland relatively unaffected.
