COMMERCIALISATION
History Plant growth regulator reported by F. Arndt et al. (Plant Physiol., 1976, 57, Supplement, p. 99). Introduced by Schering AG (now Bayer CropScience). Patents DE 2506690; DE 2214632 Manufacturers Bayer CropScience

APPLICATIONS
Biochemistry Cytokinin activity. Mode of action Plant growth regulator, absorbed by the leaves, which stimulates formation of an abscission layer between the plant stem and the leaf petioles, causing the dropping of entire green leaves. Uses Used for defoliation of cotton, in order to facilitate harvesting; applied at 0.21 kg/ha per season. Formulation types EC; WP; SC. Selected products: 'Dropp' (Bayer CropScience)

OTHER PRODUCTS
'Separate' (Feinchemie Schwebda) mixtures: 'Ginstar' (+ diuron) (Bayer CropScience); 'Harvade-4198' (+ dimethipin) (Crompton); 'Leafless' (+ dimethipin) (Crompton) Discontinued products mixtures: 'Dropp Ultra' * (+ diuron) (Aventis)

MAMMALIAN TOXICOLOGY
Oral Acute oral LD50 for mice >5000, rats >4000 mg/kg. Skin and eye Acute percutaneous LD50 for rats >1000, rabbits >4000 mg/kg. Mild eye irritant; non-irritating to skin (rabbits). No skin sensitisation (guinea pigs). Inhalation LC50 (4 h) for rats >2.3 mg/l air. NOEL (90 d) for rats 200 mg/kg diet; (1 y) for dogs 100 mg/kg diet. No significant effects observed in a 2 y carcinogenicity study in mice and a 3-generation reproduction study in rats. Other Acute i.p. LD50 for rats 4200 mg/kg. Non-mutagenic. Toxicity class WHO (a.i.) U; EPA (formulation) III

ECOTOXICOLOGY
Birds Acute oral LD50 for Japanese quail >3160 mg/kg. Dietary LC50 (8 d) for bobwhite quail and mallard ducks >5000 mg/kg diet. Fish LC50 (96 h) for rainbow trout >19, bluegill sunfish >32 mg/l. Daphnia LC50 (48 h) >10 mg/l. Bees Non-toxic to honeybees. Worms LC50 (14 d) for earthworms >1400 mg/kg.

ENVIRONMENTAL FATE
Animals In rats and goats, metabolism involves hydroxylation of the phenyl group, followed by formation of water-soluble conjugates. Following oral administration, the compound is excreted in the urine and faeces within 96 hours. Plants Only small amounts of residue (normally <0.1 mg/kg) are likely in cottonseed. Soil/Environment Strongly adsorbed by soil. DT50 in soil c. 26-144 d (aerobic), 28 d (anaerobic). Essential soil microbial processes are only temporarily influenced, if at all.
