Dinitroanilines or Nitroanilines
Mode of Action and Toxicology
The dinitroanilines are some of the most widely used herbicides. They are
used almost exclusively as soil-incorporated, preemergent, selective herbicides.
Uptake occurs from the soil via germinating seeds or the roots.
This group of pesticides has a several modes of action. Most members
inhibit cell division in the meristematic tissues. In others, the development of
several enzymes are inhibited, while others may also effect uncoupling of oxi-
dative phosphorylation.
These herbicides are moderately to mildly irritating and have only minimal
toxic effects.

Diphenyl Ethers
The diphenyl ethers are generally used as preemergent or early postemer-
gent herbicides. They are formulated as granules or wettable powders and are
rapidly absorbed from the soil by plant roots. Some of the more successful
members of this group do not translocate, and their activity is enhanced by
high-volume spraying, along with the use of surfactants to increase their cov-
erage and penetration.
