Water soluble

Salts of some organic herbicides are soluble in water; they are called water-soluble salts. They are sold as solids or as aqueous concentrates.

Examples of water-soluble herbicides are sodium and amine salts of 2,4-D.

These herbicides, when dissolved in water, require minimum stirring before they are sprayed and tend to stay in solution during application – thus reducing the need for agitation of the product in the spray tank.
