Hydroxyalachlor is a major metabolite of the herbicide alachlor, formed through environmental degradation processes such as hydroxylation. While hydroxyalachlor itself is not used as a commercial herbicide, it is monitored due to its persistence and potential environmental and health impacts. It retains some biological activity and can affect plant growth by interfering with protein synthesis and root development, similar to its parent compound.
