Description

Benazolin is a selective systemic herbicide belonging to the benzothiazole chemical class. It is valued for its effective post-emergence control of broadleaf weeds, particularly in cereal crops and oilseed rape, without harming the crop itself. This makes it an essential component in modern agricultural weed management programs for farmers and formulators seeking reliable and selective herbicidal activity. Benazolin CAS NO 17692-22-7 is a key active ingredient for producing professional agrochemical formulations.

Application

• Selective Herbicide in Cereals: Primary use for controlling stubborn broadleaf weeds like cleavers (Galium aparine) in wheat, barley, and rye.
• Oilseed Rape Protection: Used in winter oilseed rape crops to manage key weed species, ensuring optimal crop health and yield.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Serves as the active ingredient in the manufacture of various commercial herbicide products, including emulsifiable concentrates (EC) and soluble concentrates (SL).
• Integrated Weed Management (IWM): A valuable tool in resistance management strategies, often used in rotation or mixture with other herbicide modes of action.
• Industrial Vegetation Control: Employed in non-crop areas for managing specific broadleaf weed infestations, subject to local regulatory approvals.
