| Toxicity: |
The oral LD50 for technical trifluralin in rats
is greater than 10,000 mg/kg, in mice is greater than 5000 mg/kg.The
dermal LD50 for technical trifluralin in rabbits is greater than
2000 mg/kg. The 1-hour inhalation LC50 for technical trifluralin in
rats is greater than 2.8 mg/L.Trifluralin does not cause skin
irritation. When applied to the eyes of rabbits, trifluralin
produced slight irritation, which cleared within 7 days.Skin
sensitization (allergies) may occur in some individuals.Inhalation
may cause irritation of the lining of the mouth, throat, or lungs.

| Application: |
Trifluralin is a selective, pre-emergence
dinitroaniline herbicide used to control many annual grasses and
broadleaf weeds in a large variety of tree fruit, nut, vegetable,
and grain crops, including soybeans, sunflowers, cotton, and
alfalfa. Pre-emergence herbicides are applied before weed seedlings
sprout. Trifluralin should be incorporated into the soil by
mechanical means within 24 hours of application.
