Description and Uses
Linuron is found as white crystals that have no smell. It is very slightly soluble in water. Linuron can enter the body either by ingestion of contaminated food or water or by dermal contact. Linuron can cause nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Eye contact can cause irritation. There is little evidence available as to the effects of exposure to linuron on human health. However, exposure to linuron at normal background levels is unlikely to have any adverse effect on human health.
Linuron is used to control annual and perennial broadleaf and grassy weeds on crop and noncrop sites. It is used as a pre- and post-emergent herbicide. It works by inhibiting photosynthesis in target weed plants. It is used in soybean, cotton, potato, corn, bean, pea, winter wheat, asparagus, carrot, and fruit crops. It is also used on crops stored in warehouses and storerooms. Linuron is classified by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a Restricted Use Pesticide (RUP).
