Asparagus and 2-4 d

Will it work or kill the asparagus?

I spot sprayed in my asparagus and it made the asparagus curl up. So I'm sure it will die.

Personally I would not be using 2-4D anywhere near a vegetable I planned on eating.

Asparagus is salt tolerant. That is what we use.

Yes, salt works very well. Plain old table salt, salt for the livestock, rock salt, whatever you happen to have. Be generous.

Yes, I agree- 2,4D has some persistence, and I don't like the idea of eating it.
