Description and Uses
Fenoprop is an obsolete phenoxypropionic herbicide and synthetic auxin. It is moderately soluble in water and has a low volatility. It tends not to be persistent in soils and, based on its physico-chemical properties, it is not expected to leach to groundwater. Very little data is available regarding its toxicity to biodiversity but it is considered to have a low toxicity to birds but moderate to fish and aquatic invertebrates. Fenoprop is moderately toxic to humans via the oral route. No information on possible chronic effects is available.
Silvex was formerly used as a herbicide. Itsuse in rice fields, sugarcane, and orchards hasbeen stopped by the EPA.
