Isopropalin is a herbicide. Invented in 1969, it is a preëmergent selective dinitroaniline to control annual grasses and broadleaf weeds. Brought by DowElanco in 1972 to the US and Australia, it is now considered obsolete.[1][6][7] In 1974, American farmers used 250,000 pounds (110,000 kg) of isopropalin.[8]
Paarlan
Paarlan was a 69% isopropalin emulsifiable concentrate[6] approved for use on tobacco.[4] It required soil incorporation due to low solubility, ultraviolet light degradation and high volatilisation, and it may have been registered for white potatoes and tomatoes.[9] Dow marketed Paarlan to southern culture, with a video advert claiming it "is just as much a part of tobacco country as ham and biscuits are part of breakfast."[10]
Paarlan was applied at 1-2 kg/Ha (active ingredient).[3]
Safety
Rats fed diets with large amounts of isopropalin had reduced hemoglobin concentrations, lowered hematocrits, and altered organ weights at the higher doses tested.[11] It is slightly irritating to skin and eyes. Its NOEL on dogs is over 250 mg/kg dietary.[3]
Environmental behaviour
Isopropalin is the most persistent dinitroaniline herbicide in soil, with a field halflife of nearly 10 months, though only 6 months in the greenhouse test. It is one of the least phytotoxic to sorghum, though in weed-control tests had roughly middle of the pack phytotoxicity to weeds.[12]
Isopropalin is not toxic to chickens, mallard ducks, (LD50 >2000 mg/kg) or quail (>1000 mg/kg). The LC50 for goldfish is >0.15 mg/L, for minnows, >0.1 mg/L.[3]
It does not translocate, in plants, to the leaves or fruit, and no significatn residues or metabolites have been detected. Isopropalin is strongly absorbed in soil, with minimal leaching, and a soil half-life of under 6 months. The loss in soil is possibly from microörgamisms, volatilisation and photolysis of ispropalin on the surface.[3]
Chemical properties
Isopropalin is only one part in a million soluble in water, but dissolves readily, to more than 1000 g/L, in acetone, hexane, benzene, chloroform, diethyl ether, acetonitrile and methanol. It is stable in field use, but decomposes in laboratory under UV light.[3]
