Benfuresate

Description:

Benfuresate, with the CAS number 68505-69-1, is a chemical compound primarily used as a herbicide. It belongs to the class of substances known as sulfonylureas, which are characterized by their ability to inhibit specific enzymes involved in plant growth. This compound is effective against a variety of broadleaf weeds and grasses, making it valuable in agricultural practices. Benfuresate typically exhibits low toxicity to mammals and birds, which is a significant consideration in its application. Its mode of action involves the disruption of amino acid synthesis in target plants, leading to their eventual death. Additionally, Benfuresate is often formulated for use in various environmental conditions, enhancing its efficacy and stability. As with many agrochemicals, proper handling and application are essential to minimize environmental impact and ensure safety. Overall, Benfuresate is recognized for its effectiveness in weed management while maintaining a favorable safety profile for non-target organisms.
