| Description | Mecoprop is a colorless, odorless, crystallinesolid. Molecular weight =214.66; Freezing/Meltingpoint 5 9395℃. Slightly soluble in water. | | Chemical Properties | Off-White Solid | | Chemical Properties | Mecoprop is a colorless, crystalline solid.
Odorless. | | Uses | Herbicide. | | Definition | ChEBI: 2-(4-chloro-2-methylphenoxy)propanoic acid is a monocarboxylic acid that is lactic acid in which the hydroxyl hydrogen is replaced by a 4-chloro-2-methylphenyl group. It is an aromatic ether, a monocarboxylic acid and a member of monochlorobenzenes. It is functionally related to a rac-lactic acid. | | General Description | Colorless crystals. Corrosive to metals. Used as an herbicide. | | Air & Water Reactions | Soluble in water. | | Reactivity Profile | A phenoxy aryloxyalkanoic acid derivative. | | Hazard | Toxic by ingestion and inhalation, irritant
to skin and eyes. | | Agricultural Uses | Herbicide: A General Use Pesticide, postemergent herbicide,
most often used in combination with other pesticides.
Most of the production is used on turf, including lawns,
sport turf and commercial sod production for control of
creeping broadleaf weeds such as clovers, chickweed, ivy,
plantain and similar plants. It is also used on wheat, barley and oats. A small percentage is used in noncrop areas
such as rights-of-way, drainage ditch banks and forest site
preparation. | | Trade name | ASSASSIN®; BANVEL P®; BH
