Herbicide.

What are the applications of Application

Acetochlor is inhibits elongase and geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate in plants

Definition

ChEBI: A monocarboxylic acid amide that is N-phenylacetamide carrying an ethyl and a methyl group at positions 2 and 6 respectively on the benzene ring while one of the methyl hydrogens as well as the hydrogen attached to the nitrogen atom have been replaced by a chloro and an ethoxymethyl group respectively.

Agricultural Uses

Herbicide: A U.S. EPA restricted Use Pesticide (RUP). Approval pending in the EU. A pre-emergence herbicide for control of annual grasses and broadleaf weeds.

Metabolic pathway

The initial metabolism of acetochlor is investigated to delineate the detoxification pathway using tolerant corn and soybean seedlings. Acetochlor is rapidly absorbed and metabolized by etiolated corn seedlings to the glutathione conjugate and is also rapidly metabolized by etiolated soybean seedlings. However, the initial metabolite by soybean seedlings is the homoglutathione conjugate, not the glutathione conjugate.
