Alloxydim sodium

For the control of volunteer cereals (Eicken et ai, 1982), it can be mixed with TCA, iluazifop-butyl, alloxydim sodium or dalapon. 

The nonsystemic miticide benzoximate was developed in Japan, in the research laboratories of the Nippon Soda Co. during the systematic investigation of hydroxamic acid derivatives. The herbicide alloxydim-sodium was prepared during the further development of compound with this skeleton. 

The most selective compound of the series is methyl 3-(l-allyloxyimino)butyl-4-hydroxy-6,6-dimethyl-2-oxocyclohex-3-cne carboxylate (alloxydim-sodium, I). 

Alloxydim-sodium is a selective postemergence herbicide used for the selective control of grass weeds in dicotylenous crops, (such as) sugar beet, soybean, peas, cotton, peanut and rape at a rate of O.S-l.S kg active ingredient/ha (Hubl el ai, 1977 Takabayashi, 1977 Ingram et al., 1978 Iwataki and Hirono, 1978). 

Alloxydim-sodium cannot be mixed with bentazon, the two herbicides being antagonistic (Iwataki and Hirono, 1978). 

Soper (1978) found alloxydim-sodium efficient for the control of volunteer cereals in winter rape. 

Alloxydim-sodium is not persistent, it is degraded in the soil and in plants in 1 month. During metabolism in the plant and in the soil the compound is decomposed to 2-oxazole derivative. In the soil it is eventually broken down by microorganisms to carbon dioxide. 

Sensitive grass weeds rapidly absorb alloxydim-sodium, which is then rapidly translocated apoplastically and symplastically. Growth inhibition, chlorosis, antocyanide formation are manifested by the treated plant, and finally, necrotic wilt. The biochemical mode of action of the herbicide is not yet precisely known (Iwataki and Hirono, 1978). 

Alloxydim-sodium is slightly toxic to mammals. Its acute oral LDjgfor rats is about 2300 mg/kg. 

The next selective herbicide belonging to the same chemical group as alloxydim-sodium with similar properties is NP-55, 2-(N-ethoxyiminobutyl)-5-(2-ethylthiopropyl)-3-hydroxy-2-cyclohexen-l-one (sethoxydim, 2,). Its chemical, physical and toxicological data and its biological activity have been reported in 1980 (Ingram et ai, 1980).
