Usage And Synthesis |
Description | Butachlor is a member of the chloroacetanilide compounds. It is used as herbicide to control against grasses and broadleaf weeds in corn, soya beans, sorghum and peanuts grown in high organic content. It is applied to the soil as a pre- and post-emergence treatment. It is mainly absorbed by the roots and leaves, inhibiting protein synthesis in shoot meristems and root tips. |
Uses | Herbicide. |
Agricultural Uses | Herbicide: A U.S. EPA restricted Use Pesticide (RUP). Approval pending in the EU. A pre-emergence herbicide for control of annual grasses and broadleaf weeds. It is used on cabbage, citrus cops, coffee, all types of corn, cotton, green peas, maize, onion, peanuts, potatoes, vineyards, sugar cane, and sugar beets, among others. It is compatible with most other pesticides. |
Metabolic pathway | The initial metabolism of butachlor is investigated to delineate the detoxification pathway using tolerant corn and soybean seedlings. Butachlor is rapidly absorbed and metabolized by etiolated corn seedlings to the glutathione conjugate and is also rapidly metabolized by etiolated soybean seedlings. However, the initial metabolite by soybean seedlings is the homoglutathione conjugate, not the glutathione conjugate. |
