Description:Picloram methyl ester, with the CAS number 14143-55-6, is a chemical compound primarily used as a herbicide. It is an ester derivative of picloram, which is known for its effectiveness in controlling a wide range of broadleaf weeds and woody plants. The substance typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is characterized by its relatively low volatility and high solubility in organic solvents. Its mode of action involves the disruption of plant growth hormones, leading to uncontrolled growth and eventual plant death. Picloram methyl ester is often applied in agricultural settings, particularly in non-crop areas, and is valued for its residual activity in the soil. However, it is important to handle this compound with care due to its potential environmental impact and toxicity to non-target species. Regulatory guidelines govern its use to minimize risks to human health and ecosystems. Proper safety measures, including personal protective equipment, are recommended when handling this herbicide.
