Acetochlor targets and efficacy

Acetochlor is a widely used herbicide, suitable for corn, cotton, beans, peanuts, potato, rape, garlic, tobacco, sunflower, castor and Chinese onion, etc. Acetochlor is mainly absorbed through the coleoptile of monocotyledonous plants or hypocotyl of dicotyledonous plants, and then conducted upward. It mainly inhibits cell growth by inhibiting protein synthesis, so that the growth of weeds sprouts and roots stops, and then dies.

Acetochlor has special effect on annual grass weeds such as crabgrass, Setaria, goosegrass, barnyardgrass, Euphorbia chinensis, Avena sativa, Poa pratensis, Eragrostis, etc. It also has certain control effect on broad-leaved weeds such as Chenopodium, Amaranthaceae, Polygonaceae, Commelina communis, Stellaria chinensis, etc., but the effect is worse than that of grass weeds, and it is ineffective against perennial weeds.
