The names on the list are the ISO common name for the active ingredient which is formulated into the branded product sold to end-users. [1] The University of Hertfordshire maintains a database of the chemical and biological properties of these materials, [2] including their brand names and the countries and dates where and when they have been ...
Chlorpropham or CIPC is a plant growth regulator and herbicide used as a sprout suppressant for grass weeds, alfalfa, lima and snap beans, blueberries, cane fruit, carrots, cranberries, ladino clover, garlic, seed grass, onions, spinach, sugar beets, tomatoes, safflower, soybeans, gladioli and woody nursery stock.
Diflufenican inhibits carotenoid synthesis, without which photosynthesis begins to fail and the plant is vulnerable to damage from sunlight, causing growth cessation and necrosis. [7] It is absorbed by germinating seedlings. Usually applied at 125–250 g/ha pre-emergence or shortly after, often with other cereal herbicides. [3]
4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) inhibitors (HPPD inhibitors) are a class of herbicides that prevent growth in plants by blocking 4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase, an enzyme in plants that breaks down the amino acid tyrosine into molecules that are then used by plants to create other molecules that plants need.
2,4,5-Trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (also known as 2,4,5-T), a synthetic auxin, is a chlorophenoxy acetic acid herbicide used to defoliate broad-leafed plants. It was developed in the late 1940s, synthesized by reaction of 2,4,5-Trichlorophenol and chloroacetic acid. It was widely used in the agricultural industry until being phased out, starting ...
Fomesafen is the ISO common name [2] for an organic compound used as an herbicide. It acts by inhibiting the enzyme protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO) [3] which is necessary for chlorophyll synthesis. Soybeans naturally have a high tolerance to fomesafen, [3] [4] via metabolic disposal by glutathione S-transferase.
Alachlor is an herbicide from the chloroacetanilide family. It is an odorless, white solid. It is an odorless, white solid. The greatest use of alachlor is for control of annual grasses and broadleaf weeds in crops.
Dimethenamid is a widely used herbicide belonging to the chloroacetamide class (group 15). Group 15 herbicides inhibit synthesis of certain long-chain fatty acids, thus reducing plant growth. [ 3 ] In 2001, about 7 million pounds (3,200 t) of dimethenamid were used in the United States. [ 4 ]
