What is Herbicide Diuron?

Diuron is a systemic herbicide with a certain contact killing activity, which can be absorbed by the roots and leaves of plants, and can be absorbed by the root system. CAS 330-54-1 After the weed root system absorbs the drug, it spreads to the leaves on the ground, and spreads along the leaf veins to the surrounding, inhibiting the Hill reaction of photosynthesis, causing the leaves to lose green, and the tips and margins of the leaves to fade, and then turn yellow and die. Diuron is a substituted urea herbicide used to control a wide variety of annual and perennial broadleaf and grassy weeds, as well as mosses.

Diuron CAS 330-54-1 is a substituted urea herbicide used for pre- and postemergent control on crop and noncrop areas, a mildewcide in paints, and an algicide in ponds and aquariums with very low estimated dietary, residential, and aggregate risks.Diuron is a broad-spectrum herbicide used for weed, grass, and brush control on highway shoulders. It stopsphotosynthesis, which in turn causes plants to stop growing. It also inhibits seed germination.

Diuron is the trade name for DCMU, an algaecide and herbicide active ingredient used for controlling annual and perennial broadleaf and grassy weeds in agricultural settings as well as for industrial and commercial areas.

In its original form, Diuron is a white odorless solid and can come in many different formulations such as a wettable powder, granules, dry flowable products, pellets, suspended liquid concentrates, and water soluble mixtures.

How Does Diuron Work?

Mode of Action

The mode of action of Diuron is that it halts photosynthesis on treated plants, hindering the ability of the weed to turn light energy into chemical energy. This is a crucial procedure needed for plant development and survival.

Diuron is a member of the class of 3-(3,4-substituted-phenyl)-1,1-dimethylureas that is urea in which both of the hydrogens attached to one nitrogen are substituted by methyl groups, and one of the hydrogens attached to the other nitrogen is substituted by a 3,4-dichlorophenyl group. It has a role as a herbicide, a photosystem-II inhibitor, a xenobiotic, an environmental contaminant and a mitochondrial respiratory-chain inhibitor. It is a dichlorobenzene and a 3-(3,4-substituted-phenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea.

What is the use of Diuron Herbicide

Diuron CAS 330-54-1 Herbicide, a non-selective residual herbicide for the control of a wide range of grasses, broadleaf weeds in land not intended to bear vegetation, including rights-of-way, pipeline, highways, industrial sites, railways, and many other non-crop situations. Diuron Herbicide is not corrosive to equipment and is certified as non-flammable. Diuron can be applied prior to the growth or the presence of weeds.

Diuron Herbicide may be applied to soil prior to emergence of weeds to control susceptible weed seedlings for an extended period of time. The degree of control and duration of effect will vary with the amount of chemical applied, soil texture, rainfall, and other conditions. Soils high in clay or organic matter require higher dosages than soils low in clay or organic matter for equivalent herbicide performance. Moisture is required to activate the herbicide. Best results occur if rainfall (or sprinkler irrigation) occurs within 2 weeks of application.

Diuron Herbicide applied before emergence of crop and weeds is an effective procedure because susceptible weeds are controlled in an early, vulnerable seedling stage before they compete with the crop. With favorable moisture conditions, this product continues to control weeds for some time as the crop becomes better able to compete. Should weed seedlings begin to break through the pre-emergence treatment in significant numbers, secondary weed control procedures should be implemented; these include cultivation and post-emergence herbicide application.

In crop areas Diuron Herbicide can be used for the control of barnyardgrass, crabgrass, lambsquarters, pigweed, purslane, ragweed, cocklebur, morningglory, sesbania, sicklepod, bluegrass, groundcherry, chickweed, dogfennel, fiddleneck, foxtail, rattail fescue, dayflower, horseweed, johnsongrass, marigold, sandbur, and many other listed weeds.

Herbicide Diuron CAS 330-54-1 is used to control non farming area general weeds, weeds to spread. The product is also used for asparagus, citrus, cotton, sugarcane, pineapple, temperate trees and shrubs fruit weeding.Also used widely antifoulant for marine paint.

A phenyl urea herbicide. Pre-emergent herbicide.

Diuron is a urea compound used as a preemergence herbicide in soils to control germinating broad-leaved grasses and weeds in crops such as apples, cotton, grapes, pears, pineapple and alfalfa; sugar cane ?owering depressant.

Benefits of Diuron Herbicide

Diuron is versatile in that it can be used as both a pre-emergent and post-emergent form of control on weeds and crops.

Diuron has been best used in agricultural settings to control invasive weeds around forage crops, field crops, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and ornamental crops. In non agricultural settings, Diuron can be used on industrial sites, rights-of-way, around farm buildings, and on irrigation and drainage ditches.

Drawbacks of Diuron Herbicide

Diuron only works best when the active ingredient is applied to young weeds in their very early stage as a post-emergent or pre-emergently before the seeds have sprouted. It will not be effective against mature weeds.

Do not use Diuron in residential areas as it is used mostly to treat crop sites and industrial areas.

Is Diuron Safe?

Diuron is safe to use when applied according to label directions. Always read the product label for safety instructions in handling Diuron

While diuron is safe to use, we do recommend exercising caution when handling Diuron products (or any other chemical we have in stock) to wear protective safety equipment such as a protective mask, gloves, and goggles as well as long sleeve clothing to ensure you.

What To Expect Diuron Herbicide

Timing is crucial when applying Diuron to target weeds as it only is effective before weed emergence or when weeds are in a very early stage of growth. Apply Diuron when the soil temperatures are above 55 degrees.

Diuron begins to eliminate unwanted seedlings before germination begins within turf just after application, but can take up to several weeks to completely kill off the target weeds after they have emerged.

Read the label carefully for application instructions and the correct application rate for your problem weed.

Diuron Herbicide Precautions 

1.Poisonous soil method

Diuron has a killing effect on wheat seedlings and is prohibited in wheat fields. In tea, mulberry and orchards, the poisonous soil method should be used to avoid phytotoxicity.

2. Apply to the soil surface

It has a strong contact killing effect on cotton leaves. The application must be applied to the soil surface. Diuron should not be used after the cotton seedlings are unearthed.

3. According to soil properties

Sandy soil, the dosage should be appropriately reduced than that of clay soil. Sandy leaky paddy fields should not be used.

4. Avoid drifting onto the blades

Diuron has a strong lethality to the leaves of fruit trees and various crops, and the liquid medicine should be avoided from drifting to the leaves of crops. Peach trees are sensitive to diuron and should be used with caution.

5. Repeated cleaning with clean water

Diuron-sprayed instruments must be washed repeatedly with clean water.
