Description of Trifluralin:
Use:
The use of trifluralin is increasing rapidly in the UK in both the volume applied and the area treated. From 1996 to 1998, its use increased by 57% by area treated. From 1996 to 1999, the annual average weight applied totalled 659,904 kilograms. Trifluralin is the eighth most heavily used pesticide on all arable crops: in 1998 it was applied to 736,886 hectares in the UK.
Demand in the US for dinitroaniline pesticides, predominantly trifluralin, however, declined an estimated 2.8% from 1993 to 1998. In the US, the use of trifluralin on soybeans and cotton accounts for about 75% of overall use. It was the most widely used herbicide on upland cotton in 1998, where it was applied to 57% of the area surveyed.
Trifluralin is used on winter wheat and barley, set-aside (arable land temporarily taken out of cultivation), oil-seed rape, brassicas, carrots, lettuce, sugar beet, and beans. It is also applied to outdoor bulbs and flowers, fodder crops, glasshouse crops, Christmas trees, herbaceous plants, soft fruit and vegetables. In other countries it is used on cotton, soybean, sunflower, canola, turf, alfalfa, tomatoes and vines. Trifluralin is almost exclusively a single-application, ground-applied or soil-incorporated treatment.
