Cinosulfuron (Ref: CGA 142464)
Last updated: 02/11/2023
(Not known by any other names)
Cinosulfuron is a broad-spectrum herbicide. It has a high aqueous solubility, low volatility, is not normally persistent in soil systems but may be mobile and so may, under some circumstances, leach to groundwater. It tends to have a low to moderate toxicity to biodiversity. It has a low mammalian toxicity.
The following alerts are based on the data in the tables below. An absence of an alert does not imply the substance has no implications for human health, biodiversity or the environment but just that we do not have the data to form a judgement.
