General Description

{4-chloro-2-[(4-chlorobenzoyl)amino]phenoxy}acetic acid is a synthetic compound with the chemical formula C14H10Cl2NO4. It is commonly used as an herbicide and plant growth regulator. This chemical is known for its ability to selectively control broadleaf weeds while leaving grasses unaffected. Its mode of action involves interfering with the synthesis of the plant hormone auxin, leading to uncontrolled cell division and eventually death in susceptible plants. {4-chloro-2-[(4-chlorobenzoyl)amino]phenoxy}acetic acid is commonly applied in agricultural and horticultural settings to control weeds and promote healthy plant growth. It is important to handle this chemical with care, as it can be toxic to humans and animals if ingested or absorbed through the skin.
