Benoxacor is primarily used as a safener in agricultural applications, particularly in combination with certain herbicides. It protects crops such as corn and sorghum from potential injury caused by herbicides like metolachlor and acetochlor. By selectively inhibiting the metabolism of these herbicides in crop plants, Benoxacor allows the herbicides to remain effective against weeds while reducing phytotoxic effects on the target crops. This enhances the safety and flexibility of weed control programs, especially in large-scale cereal production. Its use improves crop yield stability and supports more efficient herbicide application in modern farming practices.
