Description

Linuron is a selective, pre- and post-emergence herbicide belonging to the phenylurea chemical class. It is valued for its effective control of a broad spectrum of annual grasses and broadleaf weeds in various crops. This product is essential for agricultural professionals and formulators seeking reliable residual weed management solutions. Linuron CAS NO 330-55-2 is a key active ingredient in the production of professional-grade crop protection products.

Application

Linuron is widely used as a selective herbicide in agricultural and horticultural settings. Its primary and related applications include:

• Selective Weed Control in Crops: Pre- and post-emergence control of weeds in soybeans, carrots, celery, and potatoes.
• Orchard and Vineyard Management: Used for weed suppression in fruit orchards and vineyards.
• Non-Crop Area Maintenance: Management of vegetation on industrial sites, along railways, and in other non-cultivated areas.
• Agricultural Formulations: Serves as a key active ingredient in the manufacturing of wettable powder (WP), suspension concentrate (SC), and other herbicide formulations.
• Research & Development: Used as a reference standard or active material in agrochemical research and environmental fate studies.
