105917-76-8 Usage
General Description
2,3-Dichloro-4-(ethylsulfonyl)benzoic acid, also known as Ethofumesate, is a herbicide commonly used in agriculture to control grasses and broadleaf weeds in various crops. It inhibits the enzyme HPPD (4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase) which is essential for the synthesis of carotenoid pigments in plants, leading to the disruption of the photosynthetic process and ultimately causing plant death. It is typically applied pre-emergence or early post-emergence in crops such as sugar beets, potatoes, carrots, and soybeans. Ethofumesate is available in both liquid and granular formulations and is considered to have low toxicity to mammals and low environmental impact when used according to label instructions.
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 105917-76-8 includes 9 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 6 digits, 1,0,5,9,1 and 7 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 7 and 6 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 105917-76:
(8*1)+(7*0)+(6*5)+(5*9)+(4*1)+(3*7)+(2*7)+(1*6)=128
128 % 10 = 8
So 105917-76-8 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
