Acetochlor D11

Acetochlor D11 is a herbicide that is commonly used in agriculture to control weeds in a variety of crops such as corn, soybeans, and cotton. It is a member of the chloroacetamide family of herbicides and is a selective pre-emergent herbicide, which means it is applied to soil before the crop is planted to prevent weeds from germinating. It works by inhibiting the growth of weed seedlings and interfering with their ability to produce energy, ultimately leading to their death. The chemical formula of Acetochlor D11 is C14H20ClNO2 and it has a molecular weight of 269.77 g/mol. It is a colorless to light yellow liquid that is practically insoluble in water but can dissolve in organic solvents such as acetone and methanol. It has a relatively low toxicity to mammals and is considered to be safe for use when applied according to label instructions. Acetochlor D11 is often used in combination with other herbicides to enhance its effectiveness and broaden its spectrum of weed control. It is important to follow proper safety procedures when handling and using Acetochlor D11 as it can be harmful if ingested, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin. It is also important to use proper protective equipment such as gloves, goggles, and a respirator when handling this herbicide.
