    Product Description

    Bromacil is a phytotoxic herbicide that inhibits growth of watermelon, molokhia, and wheat plants (EC50s = 4.77, 0.08, and 3.08 mg/kg of soil, respectively).1 It inhibits growth of mustard, pea, sugar beet, linseed, barley, maize, ryegrass, and buckwheat plants by greater than 90% when used at a concentration of 1 kg/hectare.2 In vivo, bromacil induces formation of thyroid tumors in rats and liver tumors in mice.3 Formulations containing bromacil have been used as herbicides in residential, agricultural, and aquatic settings.

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
