Description
Alloxydim sodium is a herbicide. It is highly soluble in water but little other environmentally relevant information is available. Little is known about its human toxicology.
Uses
Alloxydim-sodium can be used to prepare methods and formulas for prevention of downward migration of agricultural materials, as well as, controlling of herbicide resistant or tolerant weeds.
Production Methods
Alloxydim sodium was manufactured for agricultural use via a typical oxime herbicide synthesis route that involves condensation of cyclohexenone intermediates with oxime derivatives and subsequent conversion to the sodium salt for improved solubility and formulation.
Mechanism of action
Selective, systemic action. Acetyl CoA carboxylase inhibitor (ACCase) - distrupts fatty acid biosynthesis and lipid formation.
