Description

S-Metolachlor Cga 357704 is a high-purity, single-isomer form of the widely used chloroacetamide herbicide metolachlor. This compound is valued for its superior herbicidal activity and environmental profile compared to the racemic mixture, offering more efficient weed control at lower application rates. It is an essential selective pre-emergence herbicide primarily required by agricultural chemical formulators and crop protection product manufacturers for use in major crops like corn, soybeans, and peanuts.

Application

• Selective Pre-Emergence Herbicide Formulation: The primary application for the control of annual grasses and broadleaf weeds in field crops.
• Corn and Maize Protection: A key ingredient in herbicides for maize, providing residual control of weeds like foxtail and barnyardgrass.
• Soybean Crop Solutions: Used in formulations to protect soybean fields from yield-robbing weeds during early growth stages.
• Peanut and Cotton Herbicides: Incorporated into selective herbicide programs for other broadleaf crops.
• Technical-Grade Active Ingredient (TGAI): Serves as the high-purity technical material for manufacturing commercial-grade emulsifiable concentrates (EC) and other formulations.
• Agricultural Research & Development: Used as a reference standard and in R&D for developing next-generation herbicide mixtures and enhanced efficacy products.
