Chemistry: |
Linuron is an odorless, white crystalline solid. Water Solubility: 81 mg/L @ 25 C, slightly soluble. Solubility in Other Solvents: s.s in aliphatic hydrocarbons, m.s. in ethanol, s. in acetone. Melting Point: 93-94 C. Vapor Pressure: 2 mPa @ 24 C. Partition Coefficient: 3.0043. Adsorption Coefficient: 400.

| Toxicity: |
Linuron is of slight toxicity by ingestion, with reported oral LD50 values of 1200 to 1500 mg/kg in rats, and 2250 mg/kg in rabbits. The reported dermal LD50 in rabbits is greater than 5000 mg/kg. It has been reported to be a skin sensitizer in guinea pigs, and an eye irritant in rabbits, but not a skin irritant in rabbits]. The 4-hour inhalation LC50 is 6.15 mg/L, which indicates slight toxicity by this route.
|
| Application: |
Linuron is a substituted urea pre- and post-emergence herbicide used to control annual and perennial broadleaf and grassy weeds on both crop and non-crop sites. It works by inhibiting photosynthesis in target weed plants. It is labeled for field and storehouse use in such crops as soybean, cotton, potato, corn, celery, parsnips, sorghum, asparagus, and carrots.
