Aminocyclopyrachlor is a herbicide that is not widely approved in the developed world. It is highly soluble in water, a low volatility and is moderately persistent in soil systems. Its persistence in aquatic systems will depend on local conditions. Based on its chemical properties there is a risk this chemical could leach to groundwater. It is not highly toxic to humans and tends to generally have a low to moderate toxicity to biodiversity.
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.

Environmental fate High alert: GUS: High leachability; Drainflow: Mobile
Synthetic auxin readily absorbed by plant leaves and roots. Translocates in both the xylem and phloem and is thought to accumulate in the meristematic areas of the plant.
