1,3-Dichloropropene (Telone)
1,3-D
1,3-D is often formulated with chloropicrin both as a warning agent and to enhance plant pathogen and weed control.
General Information
- Product Names:
- Chemical Class: Soil fumigant
- Uses: Broad spectrum soil fumigant to control various soil-borne diseases, nematodes, and/or garden symphylans on a range of agricultural (fruiting, leafy, and root vegetable crops; legumes; corn and tobacco) and non-agricultural crops (ornamentals, non-bearing fruit/nut trees, forestry crops, lawns and turf, golf course). It also has drip irrigation uses on established vineyards.
