Description

Lenacil is a selective, systemic herbicide belonging to the uracil chemical class. This compound is valued for its pre- and early post-emergence activity against a broad spectrum of annual grasses and broadleaf weeds in various crops. It is primarily utilized in the agricultural industry for crop protection, offering reliable weed control that helps to maximize yield and quality. Lenacil CAS NO 2164-08-1 is a key tool for farmers and formulators seeking effective residual herbicide solutions.

Application

• Selective Herbicide in Sugar Beets: Primary use for pre-emergence and early post-emergence control of weeds in sugar beet crops.
• Weed Management in Strawberries: Used in established strawberry plantings to manage annual grasses and certain broadleaf weeds.
• Ornamental Plant Protection: Applied in non-crop areas and ornamental horticulture for selective weed suppression.
• Agricultural Formulations: Serves as an active ingredient in the manufacturing of wettable powder (WP) and suspension concentrate (SC) herbicide formulations.
• Soil-Residual Herbicide Programs: Integrated into broader herbicide rotation programs to manage weed resistance and provide season-long control.
• Research & Development: Used as a reference standard or analytical grade material in agrochemical R&D and environmental fate studies.
