CAS 330-55-2: Linuron

Description: Linuron is a selective herbicide primarily used for controlling broadleaf and some grassy weeds in various crops. It belongs to the class of urea herbicides and functions by inhibiting photosynthesis in target plants. Linuron is characterized by its relatively low solubility in water, which contributes to its persistence in the environment. It has a moderate to high affinity for soil, leading to potential accumulation in agricultural settings. The compound is typically applied pre-emergence or post-emergence, depending on the specific crop and weed species targeted. Linuron is known for its effectiveness in crops such as potatoes, carrots, and soybeans. However, its use is regulated in many regions due to concerns about environmental impact and potential effects on non-target organisms. Safety measures are recommended during application to minimize exposure risks. Overall, Linuron's herbicidal properties, coupled with its environmental persistence, make it a significant compound in agricultural practices, albeit with considerations for sustainable use.
