Chemistry:Oryzalin
From HandWiki
Oryzalin is a herbicide of the dinitroaniline class. It acts through the disruption (depolymerization) of microtubules, thus blocking anisotropic growth of plant cells.[1] It can also be used to induce polyploidy in plants as an alternative to colchicine.[2]
Roughly 250,000 pounds (110 t) was used in the US in 2019, down from about 750,000 pounds (340 t) in 2010, and 1,000,000 pounds (450 t) in 1995 (by USGS estimates).[3]
