Prodiamine is a preemergent herbicide of the dinitroaniline class. Prodiamine is used with crops such as soybeans, alfalfa, cotton, and ornamental crops. Prodiamine inhibits the formation of microtubules.[2]

Prodiamine was developed by Sandoz AG and marketed beginning in 1987.[3]

Prodiamine can be obtained starting from 2,4-dichlorobenzotrifluoride.[4]
