General Description

1-(2-chlorophenyl)-3-(2,5-dichlorophenyl)urea, also known as diuron, is a widely used herbicide and algicide that belongs to the family of substituted ureas. It is a white crystalline solid that is sparingly soluble in water and often used to control the growth of weeds and algae in agricultural and aquatic settings. Diuron works by inhibiting photosynthesis in plants, leading to their eventual death. However, it has been associated with environmental and health concerns, as it can be persistent in the environment and has been found to contaminate water sources. Due to these reasons, its use is now regulated in many countries, with restrictions on its application and concentration levels.
