CLOMAZONE

Tuesday, February 12, 2013

        Clomazone belongs to a new chemistry group, the isoxazolidinones, and acts by inhibiting the biosynthesis of photosynthetic pigments of both chlorophyll and carotenoids. It can be applied early preplant, pre-emergent or preplant-incorporated, depending on the crop, geographical area, and timing. Clomazone is a colorless to light brown, viscous liquid above room temperature. When cooled, it forms a white crystalline solid. Its molecular formula is 2-(2-chlorobenzyl)-4,4-dimethyl-1,2-oxazolidin-3-one.Clomazone is a slightly toxic material by ingestion, inhalation, and dermal exposure

 

Uses and Applications

Clomazone is very active on Chenopodium album, Galinsoga parviflora, Stachys arvensis, Polygonum aviculare and Echinochloa crus-galli.  Clomazone also provides suppression of Solanum nigrum, Amaranthus spp. And Raphanus raphanistrum. Foliar contact or vapours may cause visual symptoms of chlorosis to nearby sensitive plants. Clomazone is applied to most of the Arkansas rice acreage for grass weed control, especially barnyardgrass, the most troublesome weed of rice.The use of clomazone is expected to have minimal impact on the environment with little potential to accumulate or move into ground water due to its physical-chemical properties.
