Use pesticide “Acetochlor” with caution

Definitions: Acetochlor is a widely used herbicide. Developed by Monsanto in the United States in 1971, it is currently one of the most important herbicide species in the world, and it is also the most widely used herbicide in China.

Target: Broad-leaved weeds of annual grass weeds and some small seeds. It has special effects on annual grass weeds such as crabgrass, green foxtail, goosegrass, barnyardgrass, chamomile, amaranth, wild oats, bluegrass, hardgrass, and teff. The broad-leaved weeds such as communis communis, burdock, and dodder seed also have certain control effects, but the effect is worse than that of grass weeds and is not effective against perennial weeds.

Mechanism of Action: Acetochlor is a selective pre-emergence herbicide that is absorbed primarily by the cotyledon of monocotyledonous plants or the hypocotyls of dicotyledonous plants. It is uptake after uptake, mainly by inhibiting protein synthesis and inhibiting cell growth. Grass sprouts and young roots stop growing and die. The ability of weeds to absorb acetochlor from grasses is stronger than that of broad-leaved weeds, so the control of grass weeds is better than that of broad-leaved weeds. The acetochlor persists in soil for about 45 days. It is mainly degraded by microorganisms and has a low mobility in soil and is mainly maintained in 0-3 cm soil layers.

Applicable to the following crops: corn, cotton, beans, peanuts, potatoes, rape, garlic, **, sunflower, ramie and so on.

Note: Wheat, rice, millet, sorghum, cucumber, watermelon, melon, spinach, leeks are sensitive to acetochlor and should be used with caution.

Acetochlor has a great negative effect on wheat, millet, sorghum, etc. For example, farmland that used “acetochlor” cannot directly grow wheat, otherwise it may cause wheat not to grow. Therefore, farmers need to use acetochlor. It is not possible to grow crops such as wheat until the earth is treated with soil.

Now is the peak time for farmers to buy medicines and drugs. Some local distributors only pay attention to making money in pesticide distribution and illegally sell pesticides. Therefore, consumers are reminded to keep their eyes open when purchasing pesticides. Beware of falling into dealerships. Promote the “traps”; at the same time, learn more about some pesticides in order to prevent improper use of pesticides, resulting in the phenomenon of farmland waste.
