Isoproturon
    异丙隆
Introduction: Isoproturon is is a selective herbicide belonging to the family of substituted ureas and acts principally after root absorption, either pre-emergence or post emergence. It is effective against several broad-leaved weeds and numerous grassy weeds. It is safe to all varieties of soft winter wheat, barley and rye.

ENVIRONMENTAL FATE
Animals In rats, following oral administration, 50% is eliminated within the first 8 h, predominantly in the urine. Plants In plants, degradation is mainly via hydroxylation of the isopropyl group to 1,1-dimethyl-3-[4-(2'-hydroxy-2'-propyl)phenyl]urea; N-dealkylation also occurs. Soil/Environment Undergoes enzymic and microbial demethylation at the nitrogen, and hydrolysis of the phenylurea to 4-isopropylaniline. DT50 in soil 6-28 d; rate of degradation increases 3x between 10℃ and 30℃(sandy soil) and 10x in an organic soil over the same temperature range.
Usage: Isoproturon was introduced by Ciba-Geigy AG (became Novartis Crop Protection AG). It is a herbicide for use, typically, in cereals to control annual grasses and many broad-leaved weeds.
Application: Biochemistry Photosynthetic electron transport inhibitor at the photosystem II receptor site. Mode of action Selective systemic herbicide, absorbed by the roots and leaves, with translocation. Uses Pre- and post-emergence control of annual grasses (Alopecurus myosuroides, Apera spica-venti, Avena fatua and Poa annua) and many annual broad-leaved weeds in spring and winter wheat (except durum wheat), spring and winter barley, winter rye, and triticale, at 1.0-1.5 kg/ha.
