Dichlormid is a herbicidal safener developed by Stauffer Chemical and introduced in 1972 . Today it is distributed by AstraZeneca .
Extraction and presentation
Dichlormid can be obtained by reacting dichloroacetyl chloride and diallylamine .
use
Dichlormid increases the tolerance of thiocarbamate and chloroacetamide herbicides to cultivated crops by increasing glutathione-S-transferase activity. This accelerates the breakdown of the herbicide into glutathione conjugates. Other researchers have found that dichlormid reverses the inhibition of lipid biosynthesis by EPTC .
It is used in combination with the herbicide for weed control, especially in maize.
Admission
Since acetochlor is not approved in the EU, dichlormid is not used here either.
