General Description

Propanoic acid, 2-methyl-2-(2,4,6-trichlorophenoxy)- is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C10H8Cl3O3. It is also known as mecoprop, and it is commonly used as a herbicide to control broadleaf weeds in various crops and landscapes. Mecoprop works by interfering with the growth of the plant, causing it to become twisted and distorted, ultimately leading to its death. It is often found in commercial herbicide preparations alongside other active ingredients and is applied by spraying onto the foliage of the target plants. Mecoprop is considered moderately toxic to humans and can cause skin and eye irritation, and it may also have harmful effects on aquatic organisms.
