trifluralin
Sign in to saveTrifluralin is a common preëmergent selective herbicide, a dinitroaniline. With about used in the United States in 2001, and in 2012, it is one of the most widely used herbicides. Trifluralin is also used in Australia, New Zealand, Iran, India, Brazil and previously in the EU. Introduced in 1964, Trifluralin was the first organofluorine compound used as an agrochemical.

Trifluralin is applied to the soil to control annual grass and broadleaf weed species. It inhibits root development by interrupting mitosis and controls weeds as they germinate. Trifluralin moves very little inside the plant, remaining in the roots.
