Butralin(CAT: R069322) is a dinitroaniline-based pre-emergent herbicide primarily used to control annual grasses and certain broadleaf weeds in agricultural settings. It works by inhibiting microtubule formation during cell division, thereby disrupting root development in germinating weed seeds. Butralin is commonly applied to crops like tobacco, soybeans, and cotton, offering effective weed management while minimizing competition for nutrients and water. Its selective action and soil persistence make it suitable for integrated weed control programs. In addition to agricultural use, Butralin is also a compound of interest in plant biology research, especially for studying cell cycle regulation and cytoskeletal dynamics.
