In studies using laboratory animals, dichlobenil generally is of low acute toxicity. It is slightly toxic by the oral, dermal, and inhalation routes and has been placed in Toxicity Category III (the second lowest of four categories) for these effects.
How does dichlobenil work?
Dichlobenil is a cellulose production inhibitor that works primarily on below-ground tissues but xylem transport to developing shoots may occur. This herbicide may be applied prior to or after weed emergence as it is absorbed through roots or young shoots.
Does RootX dissolve roots?
