Empirical Formula

Toxicology

1. Acute Toxicity (WHO Classification)

   • Oral (rat): LD₅₀ = 520 mg/kg (Category 3, Moderate toxicity)

   • Dermal (rabbit): LD₅₀ > 2,000 mg/kg (Category 5, Low toxicity)

   • Inhalation (rat): LC₅₀ > 2.1 mg/L (Category 4, Low hazard)

   • Eye/Skin Irritation: Non-irritating (EPA Category IV)

2. Chronic Effects

   • Carcinogenicity: EPA Group C (Possible human carcinogen)

   • Endocrine Disruption: Suspected (EU review pending)

   • Reproductive Toxicity: No clear evidence (OECD 422 negative)

3. Ecotoxicity

   • Aquatic: Highly toxic to fish (LC₅₀ 1.2–3.8 mg/L)

   • Bees: Non-toxic (LD₅₀ > 100 μg/bee)

   • Soil Persistence: DT₅₀ = 60–120 days (high mobility in sandy soils)

4. Protective Measures

   • PPE: Gloves, dust mask, long-sleeved clothing

   • First Aid: Induce vomiting if swallowed (medical supervision required)

Applications

1. Target Crops

   • Non-food use: Industrial sites, railways, utilities (check local registrations)

   • Historical use: Citrus/pineapple plantations (phased out in most countries)

2. Target Weeds

   • Broad-spectrum control of annual/perennial weeds (e.g., morning glory, pigweed)

   • Especially effective on deep-rooted perennials (e.g., johnsongrass)

3. Usage Parameters

   • Rate: 4–8 kg/ha (80% WP formulation)

   • Timing: Apply to bare soil before weed emergence

   • Method: Uniform spray with 500–1000 L water/ha

4. Critical Notes

   • Contraindications:

     • Banned in EU/Canada for agricultural use

     • Do not use near water sources (high leaching risk)

   • Resistance Management: Rotate with glyphosate or soil-sterilant herbicides
