Description

Propachlor is a selective pre-emergent herbicide belonging to the chloroacetamide chemical class. Its primary value lies in its effective control of annual grasses and broadleaf weeds in a variety of major crops, protecting yield potential from early-season competition. This product is essential for agricultural professionals and formulators seeking reliable, foundational active ingredients for crop protection programs targeting corn, soybeans, and other key commodities.

Application

Propachlor CAS NO 1918-16-7 is a cornerstone herbicide with well-established uses in modern agriculture. Its primary and related applications include:

• Pre-emergent Weed Control: Formulated for application before weed seeds germinate, creating a protective barrier in the soil.
• Corn and Soybean Protection: Widely used in the cultivation of maize (field corn) and soybeans to manage competing vegetation.
• Vegetable and Pulse Crops: Employed in certain vegetable crops and pulses for selective weed management.
• Turf and Ornamental Management: Used in professional turfgrass settings and ornamental plant production.
• Industrial Vegetation Control: Applicable for managing unwanted vegetation in non-crop areas.
