Color Code—Blue: Health Hazard/Poison: Storein a secure poison location. Prior to working with thischemical you should be trained on its proper handling andstorage. Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, wellventilated area away from oxidizers and strong bases.

Solutions of the salt of MCPP are stable for several yr under normal storage conditions. At low temperatures the salt will crystallize out of solution, but the crystals will redissolve on warming. /Salts of mecoprop/

2-(4-Chloro-2-methylphenoxy)propanoic acid Use and Manufacturing

Uses

Herbicide.

Herbicide: A General Use Pesticide, postemergent herbicide, most often used in combination with other pesticides. Most of the production is used on turf, including lawns, sport turf and commercial sod production for control of creeping broadleaf weeds such as clovers, chickweed, ivy, plantain and similar plants. It is also used on wheat, barley and oats. A small percentage is used in noncrop areas such as rights-of-way, drainage ditch banks and forest site preparation.
