Trifluarlin is a well known herbicide used in many countries. This herbicide belongs to the donitroaniline chemical family.[1]. Herbicides that are a part of this family were originated from tests of dyes and dye chemical synthesis. Trifluarlin plays a key role in soybean production as well as in some crops and the maintenance of certain weeds. Trifluarlin is usually used as a spray or soil treatment which is applied to crops and weeds before they begin to sprout. However, some countries are looking into the abolishment of this herbicide because of its high toxicity.[2].
Although weed control is a major problem being battled by different cultures; the primary reason for controlling weeds is significant, more so aesthetic. These weeds must be controlled to prevent direct or indirect reductions in crop growth or quality. By doings so the herbicide can be called an inhibitor. Its absorption interferes with developing plant roots, plant cell growth and division. Trifluarlin is environmentally perssistant, but has a low mobility due to its high affinity for soils and low solubility.[3] .
