Fenchlorazole-ethyl is a herbicide safener used to enhance the tolerance of wheat to fenoxaprop-ethyl and fenoxaprop-P-ethy. Safeners are agrochemicals which enhance tolerance to herbicides in cereals including wheat by elevating the expression of xenobiotic detoxifying enzymes, such as glutathione transferases (GSTs)
Fenchlorazole-ethyl accelerates the metabolic breakdown of fenoxaprop by enhancing de-esterification to the acid. (National Center for Biotechnology Information).
Fenchlorazole-ethyl is a dichlorobenzene
It is practically non-toxic (WHO category IV, Rat oral LD50 >5 gm/kg (5000 mg/kg) (National Center for Biotechnology Information)
