Cas No.: 163515-14-8

Biological Activity

Dimethenamid-P is a chloroacetamide herbicide that inhibits very-long-chain fatty acid (VLCFA) synthesis. It provides pre-emergence and early post-emergence control of annual grasses and certain broadleaf weeds.

Spectrum and Route of Action:

Selective soil-applied herbicide absorbed primarily by shoots (coleoptiles) and roots of germinating weeds. It inhibits cell division by blocking VLCFA elongation, preventing normal shoot emergence and growth. Best applied pre-emergence or at planting.

Scope of Application:

Controls a wide range of weeds including:

• Annual grasses (barnyardgrass, foxtails, crabgrass, annual ryegrass)

• Annual broadleaf weeds (pigweeds, lambsquarters, nightshade, purslane)

• Certain sedges (yellow nutsedge suppression)

Mainly used on:

• Corn/maize

• Soybeans

• Peanuts

• Dry beans

• Sugarbeets

• Sunflowers

• Potatoes

• Vegetable crops (onions, tomatoes, cabbage)

• Orchards and vineyards
