2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) was the first synthetic herbicide to be commercially developed and has commonly been used as a broadleaf herbicide for over 60 years. It is a selective herbicide that kills dicots without affecting monocots and mimics natural auxin at the molecular level. 2,4-D was developed during World War II as one of many
so-called phenoxy herbicides by aiming to increase crop yields for a nation at war. It was
commercially released in 1946 becoming the first successful selective herbicide and allowed for greatly
enhanced weed control in wheat, maize, rice, and other similar cereal crops because it specifically targets dicots.
This herbicide family is said to have “initiated an agricultural revolution and laid the corner stone of
present-day weed science” when it was first marketed in the 1940s.

Curator's Comment: 2,4-D was developed during World War II at British Rothamsted Experimental Station by Judah Hirsch Quastel and sold commercially in 1946. 2,4-D was developed by a British team during World War II and first saw widespread production and use in the late 1940s.

Neonate rats were treated with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) from the 7th or 12th until the 17th or 25th postnatal day. Two drug dosages were used: 70 and 100 mg/kg body weight of 2,4-D. At the 17th day of age, no changes were observed in body weight, protein and DNA content. However, 25-day-old treated pups showed diminutions in body and brain weight, protein and DNA levels, depending on doses and period of treatment.

Different doses of 2,4-D (10 nM, 100 nM, 1 uM, 10 uM, 100 uM, and 200 uM) were applied to human spermatozoa prepared from normal fresh semen samples. The results indicated that 2,4-D did not affect the viability, capacitation, or spontaneous acrosome reactions of human spermatozoa, but it dose-dependently inhibited the total motility, progressive motility, ability to penetrate viscous medium, and progesterone-induced capacitation and acrosome reaction rates.
