Delachlor is a chloroacetanilide herbicide, used on grasses and sugarbeet, and not registered in the USA.[1] It was first reported in 1967 and introduced by Monsanto,[4] though by 1974 commercial factors had halted its commercialisation,[5] so delachlor is now considered obsolete.[3]

Delachlor's HRAC group is Group K (Australia), Group K3 (Global) and Group 15 (numeric).[3]
