What are the applications of Application

Acifluorfen is an herbicide against broadleaf weeds

Definition

ChEBI: A member of the class of benzoic acids that is 2-nitrobenzoic acid in which the hydrogen at position 5 is replaced by a 2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy group. It is a herbicide used for the post-emergence control of a variety of annual broadleaf weeds.

Agricultural Uses

Acifluorfen is a Herbicide: used to control pre-emergent and post-emergent broadleaf weeds and grasses in soybean, peanut, pea and rice crops. It is also registered for use by homeowners as a spot treatment on driveways, sidewalks, and patios. It should not be mixed with oils, surfactants, liquid fertilizers, and other pesticides. Not approved for use in EU countries.
