Description

Bromoxynil is a selective, contact herbicide belonging to the hydroxybenzonitrile chemical class. It is valued for its effective post-emergence control of broadleaf weeds in cereal crops and other key agricultural systems. This compound is essential for formulators and agricultural chemical producers seeking reliable active ingredients for crop protection solutions. Bromoxynil CAS NO 1689-84-5 is a critical component in modern integrated weed management programs.

Application

• Cereal Herbicide: Primary use for post-emergence control of broadleaf weeds (e.g., chickweed, mayweed, corn marigold) in wheat, barley, oats, and rye.
• Corn and Sorghum Protection: Used in formulations to manage key weed species in maize (corn) and grain sorghum fields.
• Onion and Garlic Crops: Applied for selective weed control in Allium crops such as onions, garlic, and leeks.
• Turf and Lawn Management: Incorporated into professional turf management products for controlling broadleaf weeds in grasses.
• Industrial Vegetation Control: Used in non-crop areas, including roadsides and railway embankments, for vegetation management.
• Formulation Intermediate: Serves as a key technical-grade active ingredient (TGAI) for manufacturing various end-use herbicide formulations (e.g., emulsifiable concentrates, soluble concentrates).
• Seed Production Fields: Employed in the production of grass and cereal seed to ensure purity and high yield by eliminating competing weeds.
