Alachlor is a chloroacetanilide herbicide used to control annual grasses and broadleaf weeds primarily in corn and soybean crops. It is known for its pre-emergent activity, meaning it is applied to the soil to prevent weed germination and growth.
Alachlor be retained and analyzed using a Primesep 100 mixed-mode stationary phase column. The analysis employs an isocratic method with a simple mobile phase comprising water, acetonitrile (MeCN), and sulfuric acid as a buffer. This method allows for detection using UV 200 nm
