Infobox references

Benzadox-ammonium is a chemical variant of the herbicide benzadox,[4] usually formulated into emulsifiable concentrate (EC) or wettable powders (WP).[1] See benzadox for the main article. "Bendazox" may refer to bendazox itself or benzadox-ammonium, the ammonium salt.

Benzadox-ammonium is produced from benzadox by neutralising it with ammonium hydroxide or similar, and then filtered, dried and milled to appropriate purity. The bare form, benzadox, is also the major metabolite product of benzadox ammonium degradation in soil.[1]
