4-Fluorophenoxyacetic acid

4-Fluorophenoxyacetic acid is a herbicide and plant defense inducer. 4-Fluorophenoxyacetic can inhibit the heading of monocotyledonous weeds and induce their sterility. Additionally, 4-Fluorophenoxyacetic acid can induce the defense mechanism of cereals to suppress pest populations and increase the yield of field crops[1][2].
