When chloroform reacts with nitric acid, nitrochloroform (chloropicrin) and water are formed.
Chloropicrin, also known as PS, is a chemical compound currently used as a broad-spectrum antimicrobial, fungicide, herbicide, insecticide, and nematicide. Its chemical structural formula is Cl3CNO2.
In agriculture, chloropicrin is injected into soil prior to planting a crop in order to clean the soil of a broad spectrum of fungi, microbes, insects, and other harmful pests. It is commonly used as a stand alone treatment or in combination / co-formulation with methyl bromide and 1,3-Dichloropropene.
