Quinclorac
   
Introduction: Quinclorac is a selective herbicide used primarily to control weeds in rice crops, but is also used on other agricultural crops and is found in some household herbicides for lawn use. Most lawn maintenance companies use the product for the control of annual grass weeds like crabgrass. Quinclorac is considered a synthetic auxin.

ENVIRONMENTAL FATE
Animals More than 90% of radiolabelled quinclorac administered orally to rats is excreted in the urine within 5 days. Plants In plants, systemically translocated to the roots and to the leaves. Soil/Environment Only slightly adsorbed by the soil. Depending on soil type and organic matter content, the chemical is relatively mobile, this mobility increasing with higher percolation rates in fields. Quinclorac is degraded by micro-organisms, 3-chloro-8-quinolinecarboxylic acid being a major metabolite. Water regimes causing changes in moisture content in rice soils enhance the microbial degradation. Photolytic decomposition in active paddy water occurs in the presence of sunlight and dissolved humic acids.
Usage: Quinclorac was introduced by BASF AG. It is a herbicide used for post-emergence weed control on grass and turf.
Application: Biochemistry: Protein synthesis inhibitor. Mode of action: Selective herbicide, absorbed by the shoots of germinating plants. Uses: Pre-emergence or pre-plant incorporated for control of annual grasses and some broad-leaved weeds in maize, sunflowers, soya beans, potatoes and peas (1.1-1.8 kg/ha). It can be used in beans and sweet lupins (1.1-1.8 kg/ha) and onions (1.4-1.8 kg/ha).
