Description

S-Metolachlor Cga 368208 is a high-purity, chiral form of the widely used chloroacetamide herbicide metolachlor. This compound matters as a selective pre-emergence herbicide, offering superior efficacy and environmental profile compared to its racemic counterpart. It is primarily needed by agrochemical manufacturers and formulators for the production of advanced crop protection products targeting grasses and broadleaf weeds in major crops like corn, soybeans, and peanuts.

Application

• Pre-emergence Herbicide Formulation: Key active ingredient in selective herbicide formulations for major field crops.
• Corn and Maize Protection: Controls annual grasses and certain broadleaf weeds in corn fields.
• Soybean Crop Management: Used in soybean production systems for effective weed suppression.
• Peanut and Cotton Farming: Applied in peanut, cotton, and other legume crops for pre-emergence weed control.
• Agrochemical Intermediate: Serves as a critical chiral intermediate for synthesizing advanced herbicide products.
• Research & Development: Used in agricultural R&D for developing new, more sustainable weed management solutions.
