Description and Uses
2,3,6-TBA is a post-emergence herbicide. It is highly soluble in water and most organic solvents. It is considered volatile. Little has been reported on its environmental persistence or mobility. It is moderately toxic to mammals and a recognised irritant. Based on its chemical properties it would not expected to bioaccumulate. There are gaps in knowledge regarding its toxicity to biodiversity however data has shown that it is moderately toxic to bids, fish and honeybees.
Systemic growth-regulator herbicide used for postemergence control of broad-leaved perennial and annual weeds in cereals and grass seed crops.
