Usage

Description

Chlorotoluron is a member of the class of ureas, specifically an N-methyl urea derivative with a 3-chloro-4-methylphenyl group at position 3 and a methyl group at position 1. It is a herbicide known for its selective action on certain types of weeds while being non-toxic to honeybees. However, it is considered moderately toxic to mammals, birds, earthworms, and most aquatic organisms.

Uses

Used in Agriculture:
Chlorotoluron is used as a herbicide for controlling various types of weeds in agricultural settings. Its selective action allows it to be effective against specific weed species without causing harm to the desired crop or beneficial insects like honeybees. This selective herbicidal property makes it a valuable tool in modern agriculture for maintaining crop health and yield.
Used in Environmental Management:
Due to its moderate toxicity to certain non-target organisms, Chlorotoluron can be used in environmental management practices to control invasive plant species or manage vegetation in ecologically sensitive areas. Its application in these contexts helps maintain ecological balance and protect native flora and fauna from the negative impacts of invasive species.

Metabolism

Chlortoluron is rapidly metabolized in winter wheat. Hydroxylation of the methyl group on the phenyl ring has been demonstrated as a detoxification mechanism for chlortoluron resistance in winter wheat, whereas in the susceptible weed blackgrass (Alopecurus myosuroides Huds.), the main metabolite is the mono N-demethylated metabolite (107). In a tolerant weed, Persian speedwell (Veronica persica Poir.), chlortoluron is rapidly transformed to the nonphytotoxic di-N-demethylated metabolite (107).
