    Product Description

    Trifluralin is a dinitroaniline herbicide.1,2 It inhibits photosynthetic electron transport, ATP synthesis, and cytochrome f reduction in isolated spinach chloroplasts in a concentration-dependent manner.1 Trifluralin (1.68 kg/ha) decreases cotton (G. hirsutum) plant height when applied to the soil prior to planting.2 It induces reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in V79 Chinese hamster lung fibroblasts and genotoxicity in isolated human peripheral lymphocytes when used at concentrations ranging from 2.5 to 500 µM.3 Trifluralin has been found as a contaminant in freshwater fish.4 Formulations containing trifluralin have been used as herbicides in agricultural, residential, commercial, and industrial settings.

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
