Usage

General Description

Fluometuron-desmethyl is a chemical derivative of the herbicide fluometuron, which is used to control grasses and broadleaf weeds in cotton and peanut crops. It is a metabolite of fluometuron, formed in the soil, and is considered an environmental contaminant and potential breakdown product of fluometuron. Fluometuron-desmethyl has been found to have similar toxicity and environmental hazards as its parent compound, including potential for groundwater contamination and toxicity to aquatic organisms. Its use is regulated and monitored to minimize environmental impact.
