chloroxuron
Sign in to saveChloroxuron is a phenylurea herbicide that appears as an odorless and colorless powder or white crystals. Phenylurea pesticides are characterized for their agricultural use to control weed growth, acting as photosynthesis inhibitors. These herbicides can either be endocrine disruptors, or have ecotoxic or genotoxic effects.

Chloroxuron is a phenylurea herbicide that appears as an odorless and colorless powder or white crystals. Phenylurea pesticides are characterized for their agricultural use to control weed growth, acting as photosynthesis inhibitors. These herbicides can either be endocrine disruptors, or have ecotoxic or genotoxic effects.
Chloroxuron's herbicide resistance class is Group C, (Australia), C2 (global), Group 7, (numeric); it is a urea and photosynthesis inhibitor.
