Usage

General Description

1,3-bis(1-chloro-2-methylpropan-2-yl)urea, also known as diuron, is a synthetic organic compound commonly used as an herbicide. It belongs to the class of substituted ureas and is known for its ability to inhibit photosynthesis in plants. Diuron works by preventing the growth of weeds and unwanted vegetation in agricultural and non-agricultural areas. It is often utilized in vineyards, orchards, and crop fields, as well as in non-crop areas such as industrial sites and along roadsides. However, diuron has been the subject of environmental concern due to its potential to contaminate water sources and harm non-target organisms. Therefore, its use is regulated in many countries to minimize potential environmental impacts.
