Propachlor (2-chloro-N-isopropylacetanilide) is an anilide used primarily as an herbicide first marketed by Monsanto under the tradename Ramrod. It was initially registered for use in the United States in 1964.
The preparation acts on annual grasses and on some broadleaf weeds and was briefly sold in the UK as a germination inhibitor under the name Murphy Covershield. Propachlor was sold in flake, pelletized, and concentrated liquid formulations, which contained Propachlor as the main ingredient, or as a mixture with Atrazine or Propazine. Propazine-only formulations typically included instructions for mixing with Atrazine.
