- Alachlor
is an herbicide from the chloroacetanilide family. Its mode of
action is elongase
inhibition, and inhibition of geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate (GGPP)
cyclisation enzymes, part of the gibberellin pathway.
- Alachlor is a
solid, white and odorless herbicide used to control weeds and
other plants.
- Alachlor is
usually sold under the trade name “Lasso,” but other names
include “Chimiclor,” “Alanox,” and “Pilarzo.”
- It is marketed
under the trade names Alanex, Bronco, Cannon, Crop Star, Intrro,

other crops.
- Alachlor is the
second most used herbicide in the United States. Heavy use
occurs in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Ohio
and Wisconsin.
- It is most
commonly available as microgranules containing 15% a.i., or
emulsifiable concentrate containing 480 g/ litre of a.i.
Homologuation in Europe requires a maximum dose of 2,400 g per
hectare of a.i., or 5 litres/hectare of emulsifiable concentrate
or 17 kg/ha of microgranules.
- The major
source of environmental release of alachlor is through its
manufacture and use as a herbicide.
-
Alachlor is a selective systemic herbicide, absorbed
by germinating shoots and by roots, for annual
