CAS 1918-02-1: 4-amino-3,5,6-trichloropicolinic acid
Description:4-Amino-3,5,6-trichloropicolinic acid, commonly referred to as picloram, is a systemic herbicide primarily used for controlling broadleaf weeds and woody plants. It belongs to the class of pyridine carboxylic acids and features a complex structure characterized by the presence of three chlorine atoms and an amino group attached to a pyridine ring. This compound is known for its high solubility in water, which facilitates its uptake by plants. Picloram acts by mimicking natural plant hormones, disrupting normal growth processes, and ultimately leading to plant death. It is effective in various environments, including agricultural and non-agricultural settings. However, its persistence in soil and potential for groundwater contamination necessitate careful application and management. Additionally, picloram is subject to regulatory scrutiny due to its environmental impact and potential toxicity to non-target organisms. As with any herbicide, proper handling and adherence to safety guidelines are essential to minimize risks associated with its use.
