Description

2,6-Mecoprop is a selective phenoxy herbicide belonging to the aryloxyalkanoic acid family, with the CAS registry number 35851-12-8. This compound is valued for its effective post-emergent control of broadleaf weeds in cereal crops and turf management. It is a critical active ingredient for agricultural formulators and professional weed control services seeking reliable, targeted herbicidal action. Its specific isomer configuration contributes to its biological activity and environmental profile.

Application

• Selective Weed Control in Cereals: Primary use for post-emergent control of broadleaf weeds (e.g., chickweed, cleavers) in wheat, barley, oats, and rye.
• Turf and Lawn Management: Formulated for use in professional turf management on golf courses, sports fields, and sod farms to manage invasive broadleaf species.
• Industrial Vegetation Management: Used in non-crop areas such as roadsides, railways, and utility rights-of-way for vegetation control.
• Agricultural Formulations: Serves as a key technical-grade active ingredient (TGAI) for manufacturers producing emulsifiable concentrates (EC), soluble concentrates (SL), and other herbicide formulations.
• Research and Development: Used as a reference standard and intermediate in agrochemical research for developing new herbicidal compounds and studying mode of action.
