Description

Terbutylazine CAS NO 5915-41-3 is a selective triazine herbicide belonging to the chloro-s-triazine chemical class. It is valued for its effective pre- and early post-emergence control of a broad spectrum of annual grasses and broadleaf weeds in various crops. This compound is a critical active ingredient for agricultural chemical formulators and manufacturers developing crop protection solutions. Its reliable performance makes it a key component in integrated weed management programs globally.

Application

• Primary Use as a Selective Herbicide: Formulated for pre-emergence and early post-emergence weed control in major field crops such as corn (maize) and sorghum.
• Broad-Spectrum Weed Management: Effective against problematic annual grasses (e.g., foxtails, barnyard grass) and broadleaf weeds (e.g., pigweed, lambsquarters).
• Agrochemical Formulation: Serves as a key technical-grade active ingredient (TC) for the production of suspension concentrates (SC), wettable powders (WP), and other commercial herbicide formulations.
• Soil-Applied Herbicide: Works primarily through root uptake from the soil, providing residual control to protect crop yields.
• Industrial and Non-Crop Use: Employed in selective non-agricultural areas for vegetation management, subject to local regulatory approvals.
• Research & Development: Used in agricultural research institutes and by agrochemical companies for developing new herbicide mixtures and studying weed resistance patterns.
