Description

Bentazone is a selective, post-emergence herbicide belonging to the benzothiadiazinone chemical class. Its primary value lies in its effective control of broadleaf weeds and sedges in key legume and cereal crops, offering a vital tool for integrated weed management programs. This product is essential for agricultural chemical manufacturers, formulators, and distributors serving the global agrochemical industry. Bentazone CAS NO 25057-89-0 is a critical active ingredient for producing reliable and effective herbicide formulations.

Application

• Selective Herbicide Formulations: Primary use as the active ingredient in post-emergence herbicide products for soybeans, rice, corn, peanuts, and peas.
• Broadleaf Weed Control: Effectively targets weeds such as morning glory, cocklebur, smartweed, and velvetleaf in legume crops.
• Sedge Suppression: Used for managing yellow nutsedge and other sedge species in various cropping systems.
• Cereal Crop Protection: Applied in wheat, barley, and oats for control of susceptible broadleaf weeds.
• Tank-Mix Partner: Often combined with other herbicides like acifluorfen or imazamox to broaden the spectrum of weed control and manage resistance.
• Non-Crop Area Management: Utilized in certain non-agricultural settings for vegetation control.
