| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Production Methods]
Bromacil-sodium is produced by first manufacturing technical bromacil, created through condensation and ring closure steps that form the substituted uracil herbicide core. Once the parent acid is available, producers convert it into the sodium salt to improve water solubility, stability, and suitability formulation. This conversion is straightforward: bromacil is dissolved or suspended in water or a mixed solvent and treated with sodium hydroxide under controlled pH, forming the sodium carboxylate. | [Mechanism of action]
Absorbed mainly via root system, non-selective. Inhibits photosynthesis (photosystem II). | [Pesticide Type]
