Usage

General Description

The chemical compound (2E)-3-{4-[(3-fluorobenzyl)oxy]phenyl}prop-2-enoic acid, also known as fluclorac, is a herbicide that is used to control weed growth in various agricultural settings. It works by inhibiting the growth of specific enzymes in plants, ultimately disrupting their normal physiological processes and leading to their death. Fluclorac is particularly effective against broadleaf weeds and is often used in rice and soybean crops. It is a white solid at room temperature and is often formulated as an emulsifiable concentrate or suspension concentrate for easy application and distribution in the field. However, its use is regulated in some countries due to its potential environmental and human health impacts.
