Application

Timing of application: Acetochlor is typically applied as a pre-emergence herbicide, meaning it is applied before the crop and weed seeds have germinated. It is crucial to apply acetochlor before the weeds emerge to prevent competition with the crop plants. In some cases, acetochlor can also be used as a post-emergence herbicide, but it is most effective when applied early in the crop’s growth cycle.
Application method: Acetochlor is usually applied as a liquid spray, either as a pre-plant incorporated treatment or as a surface application. It can be applied using ground equipment such as sprayers or using aerial application for large fields.
Target crops: Acetochlor is commonly used in crops such as corn, soybeans, cotton, peanuts, and sugarcane. It is effective in controlling annual grasses, including foxtail, barnyardgrass, crabgrass, and goosegrass, as well as certain broadleaf weeds like pigweed, waterhemp, and lambsquarters.
