Similarly one may ask, does 2 4 D Amine need a surfactant?

Most brands of 2,4 D recommend adding a nonionic surfactant to increase effectiveness. Dish detergent is used as a nonionic surfactant to help penetrate the waxy surface on many weeds and to help spread the spray droplet instead of beading up.

Furthermore, can I use 2 4 D on my lawn? 2,4-D herbicide is generally safe for use on grass in established lawns. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of 2,4-D herbicide. Fill the tank with another 1/2 gallon of water. Add 1 tablespoon of a surfactant, such as liquid dish soap, to the mixture.

If rain is expected, spray nettle early enough that herbicide dries before it rains.
