Cyclanilide (Ref: RPA 090946)	Last updated: 21/08/2024
(Also known as: cyclanilid)

SUMMARY

Cyclanilide is a plant growth regulator. It has a low aqueous solubility and is relatively volatile. It is not persistent in soil systems but may be in water under some conditions. Cyclanilide has a low mammalian toxicity but may cause adverse reproduction/development effects and is a possible neurotoxin. It is moderately toxic to most fauna and flora.
