Methalpropalin is a dinitroaniline herbicide[2] used to control broad-leaf weeds.[3]
Research samples of methalpropalin have been formulated prior to 1977 by Lilly Research Laboratories.[4]
Methalpropalin’s mode of action is to disrupt microtubule formation; this makes its HRAC classification Group D (Australia), Group K1j (global) and Group 3 (numeric).[5]
Little study has been done on methalpropalin.
