Hexazinone APPLICATIONS
Biochemistry Photosynthetic electron transport inhibitor at the photosystem II receptor site. Mode of action Non-selective, primarily contact herbicide, absorbed by the leaves and roots, with translocation acropetally. Uses A post-emergence contact herbicide effective against many annual and biennial weeds and, except for Sorghum halepense, most perennial weeds, at 6-12 kg a.i./ha. Used for selective control in alfalfa, pineapples, sugar cane and in plantations of certain coniferous species; also on non-crop areas, but not on sites adjacent to deciduous trees or other desirable plants. Phytotoxicity Should not be used for weed control in larch (Larix spp.) or in areas planted with deciduous species.

Hexazinone ANALYSIS
Product analysis by hplc or by glc with FID (C. L. McIntosh et al., Anal. Methods Pestic. Plant Growth Regul., 1984, 13, 267). Residues determined by glc (idem, ibid.; R. F. Holt, J. Agric. Food Chem., 1981, 29, 165). In drinking water, by gc with FID (AOAC Methods, 1995, 991.07).
