What Is 2,4-Dichlorobenzonitrile
2,4-Dichlorobenzonitrile (Dichlobenil) is a selective systemic herbicide widely used for weed control in agriculture, horticulture, and non-crop areas. It acts by inhibiting cell wall synthesis in plant roots, effectively suppressing the growth of annual and perennial weeds.
With strong soil residual activity, 2,4-Dichlorobenzonitrile is especially effective against grasses, broadleaf weeds, and deep-rooted perennials.
