Ghlormequat Chloride. 2-CHoioethyltrimethylammonium chloride [999-81-5] (chlormequat chloride), known as CCC (20), is an onium-type plant growth regulator that has variable use depending on where it is used. CCC by itself is registered for use in the United States by the Environmental Protection Agency, but the mixture of CCC with choline chloride has not been approved. 

Cationic Compounds. Cationic pesticides readily dissolve and dissociate in aqueous solutions to form cationic species. Physical and chemical properties for several cationic pesticides are given in Table II. The herbicides, diquat and paraquat, are the only compounds that have been studied much concerning reactions with soil colloids. Morfamquat is a herbicide related to diquat and paraquat chlormequat and phosphon are plant growth regulators. Phenacridane chloride is a fungicide, and Hyamine is a germicide. The remaining compounds were included for comparative purposes.
