Description
Linuron is found as white crystals that have no smell. It is very
slightly soluble in water. Linuron can enter the body either by
ingestion of contaminated food or water or by dermal contact.
Linuron can cause nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Eye contact
can cause irritation. There is little evidence available as to the
effects of exposure to linuron on human health. However,
exposure to linuron at normal background levels is unlikely to
have any adverse effect on human health.

Uses
Selective preemergence and postemergence herbicide used on a wide variety of food
crops to control many annual broad-leaved and grass weeds. Linuron is used to control annual and perennial broadleaf and
grassy weeds on crop and noncrop sites. It is used as a pre- and
post-emergent herbicide. It works by inhibiting photosynthesis
in target weed plants. It is used in soybean, cotton, potato, corn,
bean, pea, winter wheat, asparagus, carrot, and fruit crops. It is
also used on crops stored in warehouses and storerooms.
Linuron is classified by the US Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) as a Restricted Use Pesticide (RUP). Selective pre- and post-emergence herbicide. A restricted use pesticide. Herbicide.
