Definition
ChEBI: Piproctanyl is a member of piperidines.
Production Methods
Piproctanyl is commercially produced by a process that involves reacting 1-allylpiperidine with 3,7-dimethyloctyl halide under quaternization conditions, typically in polar solvents like acetonitrile or ethanol, to yield the final active substance.
Mechanism of action
Absorbed by the leaves and roots. Not readily translocated. Inhibits elongation of internodes, and shortens and stiffens stems and peduncles.
Pesticide Type
Herbicide; Plant Growth Regulator
