Flufenacet

Flufenacet is an EU approved oxyacetamide herbicide or aryloxy amide herbicide developed by the German company Bayer in 1988, mainly for preemergence and postemergence weeding for annual grass weeds and broadleaf weeds.

It is moderately toxic to humans via the oral route (LD50 in male rats is 1617 mg/kg, 589 mg/kg in female rats) was not toxic at the limit dose by dermal application in rabbits and was of low inhalation toxicity in rats. It was minimally irritating to the rabbit eye and non-irritating to rabbit skin, but was a dermal sensitizer in guinea pigs.
