Chemistry:Tricamba
Tricamba is an obsolete benzoic acid herbicide once used to control annual and perennial weeds, similar to dicamba. It is selective, systemic, and absorbed through leaves.[1] It was introduced in the early 1960s.[2]
Chemical properties
Tricamba is achiral,[3] and while only slightly soluble in water, is soluble in most organic solvents, and forms water-soluble alkali metal salts. It is stable to oxidation and hydrolisis under conventional conditions.[2]
Safety
Tricamba is of low toxicity to mammals and birds. Its -1">50 ranges from 283 to 951 mg/kg depending on species. It is of low dietary toxicity, and is unlikely to be hazardous in normal agricultural usage. Tricamba is significantly more toxic than dicamba.[2]
Tradenames
It has been sold under the tradename "Banvel T".[4]
