Description

Tecnazene CAS NO 117-18-0 is a chlorinated nitrobenzene compound primarily used as a plant growth regulator and fungicide. Its value lies in its ability to control sprouting in stored potatoes and suppress the growth of specific fungal pathogens. This makes it a critical agrochemical for producers and distributors in the agricultural and horticultural sectors seeking to extend the shelf life and quality of root crops and other produce.

Application

• Potato Sprout Inhibitor: Primary application for suppressing sprouting in stored potatoes during long-term storage.
• Agricultural Fungicide: Used to control soil-borne fungal diseases such as Sclerotinia and Botrytis in various crops.
• Plant Growth Regulator: Modifies plant growth patterns, used in research and specific horticultural applications.
• Post-Harvest Treatment: Applied to certain fruits and vegetables post-harvest to reduce spoilage and extend marketability.
• Chemical Intermediate: Serves as a precursor or intermediate in the synthesis of other specialty chemicals and agrochemicals.
