Dibromsalan (Cat.No:I026051) is an herbicide widely used in agricultural practices to control broadleaf weeds. It acts by inhibiting photosynthesis in target plants, leading to their suppression and eventual death. Dibromsalan is primarily utilized in pre-emergent applications, preventing weed growth before crop planting.
