Toxicology
Safeners are agrochemicals that protect crops from herbicide toxicity.
Dichloroacetamide safeners (e.g., AD-67, benoxacor, dichlormid, and furilazole) are co-applied with chloroacetanilide herbicides to protect crops from herbicide toxicity
Their acute toxicity ranges from moderate to low toxicity in rats.
A study using larvae of Chironomus riparius suggest that benoxacor presents a low toxicity risk in environmental systems. Ths study also showed some synergistic toxicity between benoxacor and S‐metolachlor (Bolyard et al., 2017)
