Description

Mcpa-Butoxyethyl Ester is a synthetic ester derivative of the widely used phenoxy herbicide MCPA (2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid). This formulation is valued for its enhanced lipophilicity and systemic action, making it a highly effective active ingredient in selective herbicide formulations. It is primarily required by agrochemical manufacturers and formulators targeting broadleaf weed control in cereal crops, turf management, and non-crop areas.

Application

• Active ingredient in selective post-emergence herbicide formulations for cereals like wheat, barley, oats, and rye.
• Key component in professional turf management products for controlling broadleaf weeds in lawns, golf courses, and sports fields.
• Used in herbicide mixtures for non-crop industrial vegetation management along railways, roadways, and utilities.
• Intermediate in the synthesis of other agrochemical compounds and specialized ester formulations.
• Formulated into emulsifiable concentrates (EC) and soluble liquid (SL) products for agricultural and horticultural use.
