Description

Nitralin CAS NO 4726-14-1 is a selective pre-emergence herbicide belonging to the dinitroaniline chemical class. It is valued for its effectiveness in controlling a broad spectrum of annual grasses and broadleaf weeds in various crops. This product is essential for agricultural professionals and formulators seeking reliable weed management solutions. Its use supports sustainable crop production by minimizing early-season competition for resources.

Application

Nitralin is primarily utilized as a selective herbicide in agricultural systems. Key application areas include:

• Pre-emergence weed control in cotton, soybean, and tobacco crops.
• Suppression of annual grasses like crabgrass, foxtail, and barnyardgrass.
• Management of certain broadleaf weeds in established turf and ornamental settings.
• Use in integrated pest management (IPM) programs to reduce reliance on post-emergence applications.
• Formulation into various commercial herbicide products for agricultural use.
• Soil-applied treatment to create a protective barrier against weed germination.
