Description

Quinmerac CAS NO 90717-03-6 is a selective synthetic auxin herbicide belonging to the quinolinecarboxylic acid chemical class. This compound is valued for its post-emergence activity against a range of broadleaf weeds, particularly in sensitive crops where other herbicides may cause damage. It is primarily utilized by agrochemical formulators and manufacturers developing advanced crop protection solutions for cereals, corn, and other major field crops.

Application

• Selective Herbicide Formulations: Key active ingredient in post-emergence herbicide products for broadleaf weed control.
• Cereal Crop Protection: Used in wheat, barley, and other cereal crops to manage problematic weeds like cleavers, chickweed, and mayweed.
• Corn (Maize) Safener Combinations: Employed in combination with safeners to enhance selectivity and safety in corn production.
• Industrial Vegetation Management: Component in non-crop herbicide solutions for areas such as railways, utilities, and industrial sites.
• Agrochemical Intermediates: Serves as a high-purity technical material for the synthesis of more complex herbicide formulations.
• Research & Development: Used in agricultural R&D for studying auxin-type herbicide action and developing new weed control strategies.
