Description

Quinclorac is a selective post-emergence herbicide used to control broadleaf weeds in rice, soybeans, and other crops. It is a member of the pyridinecarboxylic acid herbicides and was first registered for use in the United States in 1988. It is synthesized through a series of chemical reactions involving starting materials like 2-chloro-5-aminopyridine and trifluoroacetic anhydride. Quinclorac acts by inhibiting the growth of weeds by interfering with their metabolism and photosynthesis. It is absorbed by plants through their roots and leaves and can be translocated throughout the plant. Research on quinclorac focuses on its efficacy in weed control, its environmental fate, and its potential impacts on non-target organisms. The importance of studying quinclorac lies in its potential to improve crop yields and reduce the use of other herbicides that may be more harmful to the environment.'

quinclorac : A quinolinemonocarboxylic acid that is quinoline-8-carboxylic acid in which the hydrogens at positions 3 and 7 have been replaced by chlorines. It is used (particularly as its dimethylamine salt, known as quinclorac-dimethylammonium) as a (rather persistent) herbicide for the post-emergence control of weeds in rice, grass and turf. It is not approved for use within the European Union.

Research Excerpts

Overview

Quinclorac (QNC) is a persistent, highly selective, hormonal herbicide of low toxicity. Its residue can cause abnormal growth in successive crop of tobacco in Southern China. QuinclorAC turned out to be a more sensitive inducer of SOD than bensulfuron-methyl.
