Dimethenamid is a widely used herbicidal compound.
It was originally developed by Sandoz Agro and previously marketed as a racemic mixture. It is now known that only the S-isomer exhibits herbicidal activity. The S-isomer is known by the common name dimethenamid-P. Human and animal toxicity are considered low enough for commercial use as a herbicide.
