Abstract
In 1960 and 1961, linuron and monolinuron were the first substituted 3-aryl-l-methoxy-l-methyl-ureas that were introduced as herbicides in agriculture. Because of their favorable physical, chemical, and toxicological properties, particularly on account of the selectivity of their phyto-toxic effects, they have found world-wide application in many fields of plant production. Their persistence in soil, plants, and the environment is limited to such a degree that, indeed, the desired herbicidal effects are not affected, yet the formation of undesirable residues in food or feed, as well as any accumulation in animate and inanimate nature, are avoided.
