High-purity reference materials for accurate and reliable residue analysis of Bentazone.
Overview
Bentazone (also known as Bentazon, Basagran, Herbatox, Leader, Laddock) is a selective herbicide used to control broadleaf weeds in various crops. It belongs to the thiadiazine group of chemicals and is manufactured by BASF Chemicals.
Our high-purity reference materials for Bentazone are essential for laboratories conducting food and environmental analysis to ensure compliance with regulatory limits.
Uses
Bentazone is used primarily in agriculture to protect crops such as alfalfa, beans, maize, peanuts, peas, pepper, peppermint, rice, sorghum, soybeans, and spearmint. It is applied aerially or through contact spraying to control weeds.
It is safe for use on specific crops as it only affects plants that cannot metabolize the chemical.
Regulatory
Bentazone is registered for use in the United States under the regulations of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). However, certain herbicides containing Bentazone are under review for voluntary registration cancellation.
Regulatory limits for Bentazone in food and animal products vary, with specific tolerance levels established for different products.
Monitoring
Bentazone is quickly metabolized and degraded by plants and animals. However, soil leaching and runoff can lead to water contamination. The EPA has identified Bentazone levels in groundwater and surface water that exceed levels of concern.
Advisory labels are required on all commercially available herbicides containing Bentazone to warn against application and disposal in water or areas prone to soil leaching.
Health Impact
Bentazone is classified by the EPA as a "Group E" chemical, indicating it is non-carcinogenic to humans based on animal testing. However, it can cause allergy-like symptoms, including irritation of the eyes, skin, and respiratory tract.
Ingestion of Bentazone can lead to nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, and difficulty breathing. Protective clothing is recommended for workers handling the chemical.
Environmental Impact
Bentazone is toxic to certain aquatic species, such as rainbow trout and bluegill sunfish, and can affect bird reproduction. It is moderately toxic to mammals when ingested or absorbed through the skin.
Studies have shown that Bentazone does not cause gene mutations or damage to DNA and chromosomes in laboratory animals.
Safety Measure
Herbicides containing Bentazone should be stored away from food and feed supplies. Aerial spraying should be conducted to prevent drift towards water sources and susceptible crops.
Workers should wear protective clothing and wash hands before eating, drinking, smoking, or using the bathroom to minimize skin contact.
