1. Description
Maleic Hydrazide (CAS 123-33-1) is a pyridazinedione heterocyclic organic compound. While principally utilized globally as a plant growth regulator and sprout inhibitor in agriculture, it can also serve as a chemical intermediate for the synthesis of other organic molecules. Its utility stems from its specific chemical structure and reactivity.
