Chemical Name: 4-amino-3, 5, 6-trichloropyridine-2-car-boxylicacid
Formula: C6H2Cl3N2O2
Molecular weight: 241.5
CAS No.: 1918-02-1
Appearance: off-yellow crystals.
Melting Point: 218-219°C.
Vapour Pressure: 8.3×10-5 Pa at 35°C.
Stability: is stable to hydrolysis, does not photodegrade under light, and is relatively stable in anaerobic loam soils and under anaerobic aquatic conditions
Specification: 95%TC.
Uses: Picloram and other salt can be instantly absorbed and transmitted through leaves and root. A majority of broad-leaved crops except crucifer,are allergic to this medicine and many crops which falls into category of the grass family are drug resistant.
Picloram is used to generally woody plant control. It also controls a wide range of broad-leaved weeds excepting mustards(crucifers). Most grasses are resistant to picloram, so it is used in range management programs.
