Sintofen (Ref: SC 2053)
Last updated: 17/07/2024
(Also known as: cintofen; sintofene)

SUMMARY
Sintofen is a plant growth regulator. It is highly soluble in water, is non-volatile and a low potential of leaching to groundwater. It is persistent in both soil and aquatic systems. It has a moderate mammalian toxicity and a high potential for bioaccumulation. Its toxicity to aquatic organisms is low to moderate and it is moderately toxic to birds, earthworms and honeybees.
