Product Introduction

Quinclorac is a quinone carboxylic herbicide used to control annual grass and broadleaf weed species in barley, canary seed, rape seed (canola), non-crop areas, pasture, rhubarbs cranberry, rice, sorghum and wheat. The herbicide has an auxin activity similar to that of indolylacetic acid and belongs to the auxin-type class of herbicides that includes the phenoxy-acids, benzoic acids and pyridine compounds.

Mode of action

The use of quinclorac results in the rupture of the cell membranes due to overstimulation of the growth of the plant. Quinclorac is mainly adsorbed via the root system and partly through foliage, mainly for the pre- and post-emergence control of Echinocloa spp, but also other weeds like Aeschynomene spp., Sesbania spp., and Ipomoea spp. occurring in direct-seeded and transplanted rice.
