|Section2= |Section7= }} Hexazinone is an organic compound that is used as a broad spectrum herbicide. It is a colorless solid. It exhibits some solubility in water but is highly soluble in most organic solvents except alkanes. A member of the triazine class herbicides, it is manufactured by DuPont and sold under the trade name Velpar.〔Arnold P. Appleby, Franz Müller, Serge Carpy "Weed Control" in Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry 2002, Wiley-VCH, Weinheim. 〕 It functions by inhibiting photosynthesis and thus is a nonselective herbicide. It is used to control grasses and broadleaf and woody plants. Approximately 33% is used on alfalfa, 31% in forestry, 29% in industrial areas, 4% on rangeland and pastures, and < 2% on sugarcane.〔(Hexazinone ), Herbicide Profile, Pesticide Management Education Program, Cornell University〕 In 1989, hexazinone was deliberately used in an act of vandalism to poison the Treaty Oak in Austin, Texas. Hexazinone is a pervasive groundwater contaminant, due to its high water solubility. ==References== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hexazinone」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
