| Fluometuron Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | Crystalline solid. Partially
soluble in water; soluble in alcohol and acetone. | | Chemical Properties | Fluometuron is a white crystalline solid
often used in liquid solution that may be flammable. | | Uses | Herbicide used to control many annual broad-leaved weeds in sugarcane and cotton | | Uses | Fluometuron is an phenylurea based herbicide used on cotton and sugarcane crops. | | Uses | Herbicide. | | General Description | White crystals or powder. Melting point 163-164°C. Readily soluble in organic solvents. Used for pre- and post-emergence weed control in cotton. | | Reactivity Profile | Fluometuron is a trifluoromethyl urea derivative. May react with hypochlorites to form nitrogen trichloride which explodes spontaneously in air [J. Am. Chem. Soc. 63:3530-32]. May reacts with azo and diazo compounds to generate toxic gases. Reacts with strong reducing agents to form flammable gases. | | Hazard | Toxic by ingestion. Questionable carcinogen. | | Health Hazard | SYMPTOMS: Symptoms of exposure to Fluometuron may include possible convulsions or coma; irritation to the skin, gastrointestinal tract, respiratory tract; and lowered blood pressure. | | Fire Hazard | Flash point data are not available for Fluometuron, but Fluometuron is probably combustible. | | Flammability and Explosibility | Nonflammable | | Agricultural Uses | Herbicide: A General Use Pesticide (GUP). Fluometuron is
a selective herbicide which acts on susceptible plants by
inhibiting photosynthesis. Fluometuron is registered by
EPA exclusively for use on cotton and sugarcane. It can
be applied pre-emergence, for weed control before planting, or post-emergence, after target crops and weeds come
up, and may have residual activity for several months.
Fluometuron is available in liquid, dry flowable, and wettable powder formulations. | | Trade name | C 2059®; CIBA 2059®; COTORAN®;

carcinogenic data. Mutation data reported.
When heated to decomposition it emits very
toxic fumes of Fand NOx | | Potential Exposure | This material is used as a herbicide. | | Environmental Fate | Soil. In soils, ?uometuron rapidly degrades (half-life approximately 30 days) to carbon dioxide, polar and nonextractable compounds (Hartley and Kidd, 1987; Humburg et al., 1989).Groundwater. According to the U.S. EPA (1986) ?uometuron has a high potential to leach to groundwaterPlant. In plants, ?uometuron degrades to a demethylated intermediate which subsequently is degraded to the aniline moiety (possibly m-tri?uoromethylaniline) (Hartley and Kidd, 1987; Humburg et al., 1989). Duke et al. (1991) reported that ?uometurChemical/Physical. Emits toxic fumes of nitrogen oxides and ?uorine when heated to decomposition (Sax and Lewis, 1987).
