Description

Ethalfluralin is a selective pre-emergence herbicide belonging to the dinitroaniline chemical class. Its primary value lies in providing effective, long-lasting control of annual grasses and broadleaf weeds in various commercial crops. This product is essential for agricultural professionals and formulators seeking reliable crop protection solutions. Ethalfluralin CAS NO 55283-68-6 is a key active ingredient for maintaining crop yield and quality.

Application

Ethalfluralin is widely used as a soil-applied herbicide in multiple agricultural sectors. Key application scenarios include:

• Pre-emergence weed control in legume crops such as soybeans, dry beans, and peanuts.
• Selective herbicide for use in sunflower and cotton fields to manage grass and broadleaf weeds.
• Soil incorporation treatment in vegetable crops, including cucurbits and cole crops, prior to planting.
• Weed management in turf and ornamental horticulture settings.
• Formulation component for manufacturing professional-grade herbicide products.
• Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs to reduce reliance on post-emergence herbicides.
