Start an Agrochemical OEM ProjectPre-Emergence Grass Weed Control
Acetochlor 90% EC is a leading pre-emergence herbicide for annual grass weed management in corn and soybean production. By inhibiting very long-chain fatty acid synthesis in germinating weed seedlings, acetochlor prevents cell division and early seedling development — stopping weeds before they emerge. This early-season weed-free environment is critical for crop establishment, as even brief periods of grass competition during the first 3–4 weeks can cause significant yield reduction in both corn and soybeans.
EC Formulation Advantages
The emulsifiable concentrate formulation provides proven operational benefits:
- High active concentration — 90% loading reduces logistics costs and storage requirements per unit of active ingredient
- Uniform emulsification — forms a stable oil-in-water emulsion in the spray tank for consistent application
- Excellent soil activity — readily adsorbs to soil colloids for reliable pre-emergence weed control across varying soil types
- Tank-mix compatible — frequently combined with atrazine (corn) or metribuzin (soybeans) for one-pass broadleaf and grass control
Crop Compatibility
Acetochlor is one of the few pre-emergence grass herbicides with dual crop registration:
- Corn — applied pre-emergence or early pre-plant for control of foxtails, barnyardgrass, crabgrass, and fall panicum; selectivity is provided by rapid crop metabolism
- Soybeans — applied pre-emergence for annual grass control plus suppression of small-seed broadleaves like lambsquarters and pigweed; safe across all soybean maturity groups at labeled rates
- Rotational flexibility — short soil residual allows planting of rotational crops within normal rotation intervals
Who It Is For
- Corn and soybean market distributors needing a versatile pre-emergence grass herbicide for dual-crop portfolios
- Brand owners targeting North and South American row-crop markets where acetochlor is a volume leader
- Importers seeking ICAMA-certified acetochlor with complete registration dossier support
- Pre-mixture formulators looking for high-concentration acetochlor as a base for co-formulated herbicide products
