I can answer this, you see 245T is one of the ingredients in ancient orange, which was used in Vietnam (don't know if your up to date with history) , the reason the used it is because it makes a plant grow rapdily fast, so fast the it just dies out. So that's how it kills weeds. by increasing the rate of growth to extreme levels. Hope this helps.
