1. Herbicide.
2. Selective preemergence or postemergence herbicide used to effectively control a wide variety of broad-leaved weeds (such as bindweed, jimsonweed, kochia, mustards, pigweeds, sesbania, smartweed and velvet-leaf) in tolerant crops (corn, grain sorghum, maize, rice and soybeans).

Agricultural Uses

Herbicide: Used to control a variety of broadleaf weeds and grasses in legumes such as soybeans and peanuts, and post-emergent weed control in wheat, barley and sugar beets. Not currently registered in the U.S. However, it is used in 21 European countries and there are 27 global suppliers.

Environmental Fate

Soil. Bifenox degrades in soil forming 5-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)-2-nitrobenzoic acid and methyl 5-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)anthranilate (Hartley and Kidd, 1987; Smith 1988). The average half-life in soils is 7–14 days (Hartley and Kidd, 1987; Humburg et al., 1989)Plant. Rapidly undergoes ring hydroxylation and subsequent conjugation in rice plants (Ashton and Monaco, 1991).Photolytic. The UV photolysis (λ = 300 nm) of bifenox in various solvents was studied by Ruzo et al. (1980). In water, 2,4-dichloro-3′-(carboxymethyl)-4′-hydroxydiphenyl ether and 2,4-dichloro-3′-(carboxymethyl)-4′-aminodiphenyl ether were identi
