Common NameAcifluorfen
ClassSmall Molecule
DescriptionAcifluorfen is an herbicide. It is effective against broadleaf weeds and grasses and is used agriculturally on fields growing soybeans, peanuts, peas, and rice. Also registered as a spot treatment for residential use along driveways, sidewalks, and patios. acifluorfen has low acute toxicity via the oral, dermal, and inhalation routes of exposure, but causes severe eye irritation and moderate skin irritation. acifluorfen is currently classified as a B2 chemical carcinogen (probable human carcinogen).
