Propanil 敌稗
Introduction: Propanil is an acetanilide post-emergence herbicide with no residual effect. It is used against numerous grasses and broad-leaved weeds in rice, potatoes, and wheat. It is available as emulsifiable concentrates, liquid and dry flowable, low volume, and ultra low volume (ULV) formulations. Mixing with carbamates or organophosphorans compounds is not recommended. The information presented here, unless otherwise noted, pertains to technical propanil.

ENVIRONMENTAL FATE
Animals The major metabolic pathway for propanil in microsomal incubations was acylamidase hydrolysis to 3,4-dichloroaniline (D. C. McMillan et al., Tox. Appl. Toxicol., 1990, 103, 90). Plants In rice, propanil is hydrolysed by an aryl acylamidase to 3,4-dichloroaniline and propionic acid as metabolic intermediates. Soil/Environment In soil, rapid microbial degradation to the aniline derivative occurs. Duration of activity in warm, moist conditions is only a few days. Degradation products are propionate which is rapidly metabolised to CO2, and 3,4-dichloroaniline which is bound (80% in 27 h) to the soil. Koc 239-800.
Usage: Propanil was introduced by Rohm & Haas Co. (now Dow AgroSciences). Propanil is a post-emergence herbicide used for broad-leaved and annual grass weed control in rice and other crops.
Application: Biochemistry Photosynthetic electron transport inhibitor at the photosystem II receptor site. Mode of action Selective contact herbicide with a short duration of activity. Uses Contact herbicide used post-emergence in rice, at 2.5-5.0 kg/ha, to control broad-leaved and grass weeds, including Amaranthus retroflexus,Digitaria spp., Echinochloa spp., Panicum spp., and Setaria spp. Also used, in mixture with MCPA, in wheat. A mixture with carbaryl is used in citrus crops grown in sod culture. Phytotoxicity Phytotoxic to many broad-leaved crops. Normally phytotoxic to crops which have been treated with organophosphate or carbamate insecticides.
