Bromacil is an organic compound with the chemical formula C₉H₁₃BrN₂O₂, commercially available as a herbicide. Bromacil was first registered as a pesticide in the U.S. in 1961, and by 1974 1,017,000 pounds (461,000 kg) was used annually in the US, largely by government and industry. It is used for brush control on non-cropland areas. It works by interfering with photosynthesis by entering the plant through the root zone and moving throughout the plant. Bromacil is one of a group of compounds called substituted uracils. These materials are broad spectrum herbicides used for nonselective weed and brush control on non-croplands, as well as for selective weed control on a limited number of crops, such as citrus fruit and pineapple. Bromacil is also found to be excellent at controlling perennial grasses.
