Alachlor is an acetanilide herbicide. It inhibits the growth of Avena seedlings when applied to the root medium by subirrigation at concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 25 mM. Alachlor (3.4 kg/hectare) reduces wooly cupgrass (E. villosa) emergence by 85% in corn crop fields. It also reduces emergence of broadleaf signalgrass (B. platyphylla) in peanut crops when applied at planting. Alachlor (>1 µg/ml) induces sister chromatid exchanges and chromosome aberrations in isolated human peripheral blood lymphocytes. In vivo, alachlor (126 mg/kg per day) induces olfactory mucosal tumor formation in rats. Formulations containing alachlor have been used for weed control in agriculture.
Alachlor (CP 50144) is a selective herbicide with weed control activity. Alachlor is widely used in agriculture to control the growth of grass and broadleaf weeds and ensure healthy growth of crops. The active ingredient of Alachlor can interfere with the normal development process of plants by inhibiting the function of growth hormones.
