Lactofen

Description:
Lactofen, with the CAS number 77501-63-4, is a selective herbicide primarily used for controlling broadleaf weeds in various crops, particularly soybeans. It belongs to the chemical class of diphenyl ethers and functions by inhibiting the enzyme protoporphyrinogen oxidase, which is crucial in the biosynthesis of chlorophyll. This inhibition leads to the accumulation of toxic porphyrin compounds, ultimately resulting in plant cell death. Lactofen is characterized by its systemic action, allowing it to be absorbed by the foliage and translocated within the plant. It is typically applied post-emergence and is effective against a range of annual and perennial broadleaf weeds. The herbicide is known for its relatively low toxicity to mammals and birds, but it can be harmful to aquatic organisms, necessitating careful application to minimize environmental impact. Additionally, Lactofen has a moderate persistence in the soil, which can influence its residual activity and potential for carryover effects in subsequent planting seasons. Proper handling and application practices are essential to maximize its efficacy while minimizing risks to non-target species.
