Aminocyclopyrachlor (Ref: DPX-MAT28)
Last updated: 22/01/2023
(Also known as: KJM44)
Aminocyclopyrachlor is a herbicide that is approved for use in most of the developed world. It is highly soluble in water. has a low volatility and is moderately persistent in soil systems. Persistent in aquatic systems will depend on local conditions. Based on its chemical properties there is a risk this chemical could leach to groundwater. It is not highly toxic to humans and tends to generally have a low to moderate toxicity to biodiversity.
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.
