Alachlor OA

Description:

Alachlor OA, with the CAS number 171262-17-2, is a chemical compound primarily used as a herbicide in agricultural applications. It belongs to the class of chloroacetanilide herbicides, which are effective in controlling a variety of annual grasses and broadleaf weeds. The substance is characterized by its systemic action, allowing it to be absorbed by plant roots and shoots, thereby inhibiting growth. Alachlor OA is typically applied pre-emergence or early post-emergence to crops such as corn and soybeans. Its mode of action involves the inhibition of cell division and elongation, disrupting the normal growth processes of targeted weeds. The compound is known for its relatively low volatility and moderate persistence in the environment, which raises concerns regarding potential groundwater contamination. Safety assessments have indicated that it poses certain risks to aquatic organisms, necessitating careful management and application practices to minimize environmental impact. Overall, Alachlor OA is an important tool in modern agriculture, but its use requires adherence to regulatory guidelines to ensure safety and sustainability.
