General Description

The chemical compound (2Z)-2-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)prop-2-enenitrile is an organic compound with a molecular formula C17H14ClNO2. It is commonly referred to as Clomazone, and it is classified as a selective herbicide widely used in agriculture to control weeds in various crops. Clomazone primarily works by inhibiting the synthesis of carotenoids in the chloroplasts of target plants, ultimately leading to their death. It is most effective against grasses and broadleaf weeds, making it a valuable tool for crop protection. However, it also poses risks to non-target plants and the environment, so its application requires careful management and adherence to safety guidelines.
