Dinitramine is a preëmergent dinitroaniline herbicide incorporated into soil to control weeds for months after. It is no longer approved in the U.S.A., and is not in the European Union, though in Iran it has been used to control annual grasses and broadleaf weeds in cotton and soybeans, as it was in the U.S. as of 1975, where it was also used on sunflower.
Dinitramine is chemically similar to trifluralin and other dinitronilines, with which it shares many characteristics, such as mode of action and resistance information.
Cobex (or Kobex) was a dinitramine formulation sold in the U.S. by the United States Borax & Chemical Corporation, and introduced in 1973. It was an emulsifiable concentrate of 2 pounds per gallon dinitramine (25% by weight) used on soybeans, cotton and sunflower, applied at rates of 0.25 to 0.75 pounds per acre to crops.
Environmental effects
Dinitramine's soil-halflife varies dramatically with temperature, taking 31 to 47 weeks at 10 °C, but only 3.2-2.3 weeks at 30-40 °C.
Dinitramine accumulates in fish's flesh at up to 20 times its water concentration, though it is metabolised with a half life under 24 hours. It is toxic to fish at concentrations of 0.590-1.52 mg/L. Zebrafish embryos suffer developmental malformations under as little as 1.6 mg/L of dinitramine exposure.
Lists
Dinitramine has been marketed to control these weeds: Barnyardgrass, Florica pusley, Pigweed, Brachiaria, Foxtail species, carelessweed, carpetweed, Goosegrass, Purslane, Crabgrass, Johnsongrass, Texas panicum, Fall panicum, Smartweed, Black nightshade, Junglerice, Lambsquarters, kochia, Annual morningglory, Teaweed, Velvetleaf, Annual ragweed and hairy nightshade.
