Chloropham
This is an example of herbicides that are esters of carbamic acid known as carbamates or carbanilates. Many others of this class have been discon­tinued but chloropham is used as an inhibitor of sprouts in potatoes. The microorganisms that degrade chloropham are Pseudomonas, Flavobacterium, Agrobacterium and Achromobacter.
