CAS 1014-69-3: Desmetryn
Description:Desmetryn is a selective herbicide primarily used for controlling annual grasses and certain broadleaf weeds in various crops. It belongs to the chemical class of triazines, which are known for their ability to inhibit photosynthesis in target plants. Desmetryn is characterized by its systemic action, allowing it to be absorbed by plant roots and foliage, leading to effective weed management. The compound is typically applied pre-emergence or early post-emergence, depending on the specific crop and weed species targeted. It is relatively stable in soil, which contributes to its effectiveness but also raises concerns regarding potential environmental persistence. Desmetryn has a moderate toxicity profile for mammals, but its environmental impact, particularly on aquatic organisms, necessitates careful application and adherence to safety guidelines. As with many herbicides, resistance management strategies are important to maintain its efficacy over time. Overall, Desmetryn is valued in agricultural practices for its effectiveness in weed control, but its use must be balanced with environmental considerations.
