LVE MCPA 570 a LVE herbicide formulation, which stands for Low Volatile Ester. It is a type of ester formulation used in herbicides to reduce volatility, which is the tendency of the herbicide to evaporate into the air after application. LVE formulations are designed to minimise the risk of herbicide drift, which can damage nearby crops or plants. Ester formulations (i.e. LVE MCPA 570) are typically more active on weeds in comparison to amines (i.e Conquest MCPA 750 Herbicide). This is due to esters being more soluble when in contact with the plant’s waxy cuticle. Plants are more likely to quickly absorb esters, as amines are more water soluble. Once the chemical is absorbed into the plant (either amine or ester), it is converted to the active acid, injuring or killing plants that are susceptible to the respective herbicide.
