SUMMARY

Eglinazine-ethyl is a pre-emergence herbicide that is not approved for use in the EU. It is moderately soluble in water and tends not to be persistent in soil. There are gaps in the reported environmental fate data. It has a low mammalian toxicity. Little has been reported on its ecotoxicity.
