Description

Bromacil CAS NO 314-40-9 is a selective systemic herbicide belonging to the uracil chemical class. It is valued for its long-lasting residual activity and effectiveness against a broad spectrum of annual and perennial grasses and broadleaf weeds. This product is essential for industrial vegetation management in non-crop areas, such as railways, highways, and utility rights-of-way, as well as in specific agricultural settings like citrus groves and pineapple plantations.

Application

• Non-Crop Area Weed Control: Long-term vegetation management on industrial sites, railway ballasts, highway shoulders, and under guardrails.
• Utility Rights-of-Way: Maintaining clear zones around power lines, pipelines, and communication towers to prevent fire hazards and ensure access.
• Citrus and Pineapple Crops: Selective pre- and post-emergent weed control in established citrus orchards and pineapple fields.
• Soil Sterilant Applications: Used at higher rates for total vegetation control in areas where no plant growth is desired for extended periods.
• Industrial Compound Management: Controlling weeds in storage yards, around warehouses, and on unpaved industrial lots.
• Formulation Intermediate: Serves as a key active ingredient for manufacturers of professional herbicide formulations.
