Trifluralin

Trifluralin is a selective, preemergence, soil-applied herbicide providing control of many important annual grass and broadleaf weed species. Trifluralin prevents weed growth by inhibiting root development through the interruption of mitosis. Trifluralin binds to tubulin and results in the failure of spindle apparatus and cell plate formation. Trifluralin inhibits radicle development on roots. Trifluralin inhibits cell mitosis. Trifluralin is considered to be neurotoxic and haematotoxic[1][2][3][4].
