Butachlor（Cat No.:R069320）is a selective acetanilide herbicide widely used for pre-emergence control of annual grasses and certain broadleaf weeds, particularly in rice cultivation. It acts by inhibiting lipid and protein biosynthesis, disrupting cell division and seedling development in target plants. Known for its effectiveness in flooded paddy fields, butachlor enhances crop establishment and yield by reducing weed competition. Beyond agricultural use, it is studied in environmental toxicology for its persistence and ecological impact, making it significant in both weed management and herbicide safety research.
