DescriptionAcifluorfen is a post-emergence herbicide, usually used as the sodium salt. It is highly soluble in water, with a low vapour pressure and may be moderately persistent in soils and water depending upon conditions. Based on its chemical properties it has a high potential for leaching to groundwater. It has a low to moderate toxicity to most biodiversity. It is not highly toxic to human but is known to be a skin and eye irritant.

UsesAcifluorfen is an herbicide against broadleaf weeds. An environmental toxin relating to in vivo toxicity of nitroaromatics.Environmental toxin on US EPA Toxic Release Inventory list (TRI) list.
