Norflurazon is a chemical compound from the pyridazinone group .
Extraction and presentation
Norflurazon can be made by reacting N -trifluoromethylaniline with sodium nitrite , sodium sulfite , mucochloric acid and methylamine .
properties
Norflurazon occurs as colorless, light gray or light brown, odorless, light-sensitive crystals that are insoluble in water. It is stable in acidic and basic conditions, but decomposes when exposed to sunlight.
use
Norflurazon is in the 1970s by Sandoz developed herbicide ( pesticides ) from the group of pyridazine - derivatives (see also lactams ).
It is used, for example, in cotton and lingonberries. It works by inhibiting photosynthesis by reducing carotenoid biosynthesis by inhibiting phytoene desaturase.
No pesticides containing this active ingredient are permitted in EU countries such as Germany and Austria or in Switzerland .
