Bicyclopyrone (Ref: NOA449280)	Last updated: 03/09/2023
(Not known by any other names)

SUMMARY

Bicyclopyrone is a broad-spectrum herbicide. It is highly soluble in water and non-volatile. It can be persistent in both soil and aquatic systems. It is moderately toxic to fish, aquatic invertebrates and aquatic plants but presents a low risk to honeybees. Its oral mammalian toxicity is low but there are some concerns that it may be a reproduction/developmental toxin.

Data alerts

The following alerts are based on the data in the tables below. An absence of an alert does not imply the substance has no implications for human health, biodiversity or the environment but just that we do not have the data to form a judgement.
