Acetochlor 900g/L EC | Selective Pre-Emergent Herbicide for Corn and Soybean Fields

Mode of Action

Acetochlor prevents weed emergence by interrupting protein and cell development at the earliest stage.

• Absorption: Uptake occurs through soil by the coleoptile (monocots) and hypocotyl (dicots)

• Systemic Movement: Upward translocation blocks cell division

• Effectiveness: Controls weed growth before emergence by stopping shoot and root development

• Selectivity: Particularly strong against grassy weeds due to higher absorption rates

• Residual Activity: Lasts up to 45 days in the soil, offering long-term control during the critical early growth phase

Acetochlor belongs to the chloroacetanilide chemical class and works by inhibiting protein synthesis and cell division in germinating weeds. Once applied to the soil, it is absorbed by the coleoptile of monocots or the hypocotyl of dicots. From there, it systemically moves upwards within the seedling, preventing proper shoot and root formation. This makes Acetochlor effective before the weeds even emerge, essentially stopping growth before it begins.

Its selectivity lies in its ability to be absorbed primarily by weed seedlings, without affecting already-planted corn or soybean crops when used as directed. Incorporation through rainfall or shallow tillage helps activate the compound and extends its effectiveness for up to 45 days—covering the most vulnerable stages of crop establishment.

Application Crops and Target Weeds

Designed for corn and soybean fields, Acetochlor eliminates early weed threats and improves planting success.

Acetochlor 900g/L EC is ideal for use in:

• Application Timing: Apply to soil before weed or crop emergence

• Incorporation: Recommended light incorporation with rainfall or shallow tillage for maximum efficacy

Product Advantages

Strong weed suppression, high concentration, and economic efficiency in one herbicide.

• High Concentration: 900g/L formulation reduces transport and handling costs

• Excellent Grass Weed Control: Targets key species that threaten corn and soybean yields

• Extended Residual Action: Maintains clean fields for up to 6 weeks

• Versatile Mixing: Compatible with several tank-mix partners and multi-active blends

• Strong Value: Effective results at a competitive cost per hectare

Acetochlor 900g/L EC stands out due to its high-strength formulation, allowing farmers to achieve broad-acre coverage with lower spray volumes. This makes it particularly attractive for commercial-scale farms looking to optimize logistics, application frequency, and labor costs. Its efficacy against grass weeds—including difficult species like foxtail, barnyardgrass, and crabgrass—helps maintain early-season field cleanliness, which is critical for crop competitiveness and yield potential.

The herbicide's long residual activity ensures that even after application, the field remains protected for up to six weeks, reducing the need for follow-up herbicide applications and giving crops a strong head start. Furthermore, its compatibility with tank mixtures means it can be used alongside other herbicides or additives to extend weed control coverage. In terms of economics, this translates to lower per-hectare cost and better ROI for farmers and distributors alike.

Mixed Formulations Available

Acetochlor-based mixtures expand weed control spectrum and fit into integrated management programs.

• Acetochlor 55% + Metribuzin 13.6% EC

• Acetochlor 22% + Oxyfluorfen 5% + Pendimethalin 17% EC

• Acetochlor 51% + Oxyfluorfen 6% EC

• Acetochlor 40% + Clomazone 10% EC

• Acetochlor 55% + 2,4-D-Ethylhexyl 12% + Clomazone 15% EC

These blended products are ideal for distributors targeting integrated weed management programs.

In addition to the powerful single-active Acetochlor 900g/L EC, POMAIS offers a range of strategically formulated mixed herbicides that combine Acetochlor with other active ingredients. These co-formulations are designed to provide broader weed control—targeting not only grasses but also tough broadleaf weeds—and help delay herbicide resistance development.

For example, Acetochlor 55% + Metribuzin 13.6% EC adds post-emergence residual activity, enhancing control over pigweed, lambsquarters, and nightshade species. The Acetochlor 22% + Oxyfluorfen 5% + Pendimethalin 17% EC blend offers three modes of action, effectively managing both pre- and early post-emergent weeds in row crops and vegetables. The Acetochlor 40% + Clomazone 10% EC mixture strengthens efficacy against stubborn annuals and improves residual action on multiple soil types.

These formulations offer flexibility for dealers and agronomists who want a one-pass herbicide program that covers more weed species with less tank mixing on site. They are especially valuable in regions where mixed cropping or early weed pressure is high, or where regulatory pressure demands reduced herbicide load per hectare. Each co-formulated product is backed by POMAIS documentation and packaging customization to fit your target market needs.

Safety, Handling, and Environmental Guidelines

While Acetochlor offers strong agronomic value, proper handling ensures user and environmental safety.

• Toxicity: WHO Class II (moderate hazard)

• Environmental Behavior: Do not apply near water bodies; avoid contamination of aquatic systems

• Protective Measures: Wear gloves, goggles, and long-sleeved clothing during mixing and spraying

• First Aid:

  • If skin contact occurs, wash with soap and water

  • If ingested or inhaled, seek medical attention immediately

Acetochlor 900g/L EC is categorized by the World Health Organization as a Class II pesticide, indicating moderate toxicity. Therefore, strict adherence to safety protocols is essential when handling, applying, or storing this herbicide. Users should wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including long-sleeved clothing, chemical-resistant gloves, eye protection, and, ideally, a respirator when mixing or spraying the product—especially in enclosed or windy environments.

From an environmental perspective, Acetochlor should not be applied near water bodies such as irrigation canals, streams, or ponds, as it may present risks to aquatic life. Buffer zones and application timing should be carefully managed to prevent run-off or leaching into sensitive ecosystems. This herbicide is particularly effective due to its persistence in soil, but that same attribute means it requires thoughtful stewardship.

In terms of human health, accidental skin contact should be washed immediately with soap and water, while ingestion or inhalation requires urgent medical attention. Although there is no specific antidote for Acetochlor poisoning, supportive care can be highly effective if administered promptly. Distributors should ensure that all packaging is properly labeled with hazard symbols and use instructions to comply with national pesticide safety regulations.

Storage and Transport

Acetochlor requires responsible handling and environmental stewardship to ensure safe use across agricultural operations.

• Shelf Life: 24 months in original packaging

• Storage Conditions: Store in a dry, ventilated, and cool place away from food and feed

• Transport: Non-hazardous for land or sea freight under standard agrochemical transport regulations

Acetochlor 900g/L EC, while highly effective as a pre-emergent herbicide, is classified by the World Health Organization as a Class II moderately hazardous compound. This means that while it offers low application volume and crop safety when used properly, it must be handled with full awareness of its toxicological profile. Users should always wear proper personal protective equipment (PPE) including gloves, protective goggles, long-sleeved clothing, and a mask or respirator to avoid skin contact, eye exposure, or inhalation of fumes during preparation and application.

Environmentally, Acetochlor should never be applied near water sources such as rivers, irrigation canals, or ponds, as it may cause harm to aquatic life. Care must be taken to avoid application during high runoff risk periods or in fields with shallow groundwater tables. Moreover, accidental spills should be contained with absorbent materials and never washed into drains or surface water systems. When mixed correctly and incorporated into the soil, the environmental risks of Acetochlor can be greatly minimized.

In case of exposure, immediate first aid is crucial: skin contact should be treated with soap and water, and contaminated clothing removed; in the event of ingestion or inhalation, seek medical attention immediately. There is no specific antidote for Acetochlor poisoning, so treatment is supportive and symptomatic. Product containers must be kept tightly sealed, properly labeled, and stored away from food, feed, or household items to prevent accidental exposure.
