Product Introduction

Acetochlor is a broad-spectrum, high-efficiency selective pre-emergence herbicide, mainly used to control annual gramineous weeds and some broad-leaved weeds. Absorbed by weed buds or young roots into the body, it inhibits cell division, prevents normal seed germination, and ultimately causes weed death.

Acetochlor is relatively safe for crops such as corn, soybeans, cotton, sorghum, and peanuts, and can be used for soil treatment after sowing but before seedling emergence.
