1. Soybean plants differ from kidney-bean plants in their response to aqueous-spray applications of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid containing Carbowax. 2. The addition of any of three Carbowaxes to aqueous-spray solutions of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid enhanced its activity in inhibiting growth of kidney-bean plants but did not aid in inducing inhibitory responses in soybean plants. 3. Because of its solubility properties, the ammonium salt of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid is suggested instead of the acid form for use in general herbicidal sprays.
