Sodium chlorate (NaClO₃) is a white, crystalline or granular compound renowned for its strong oxidizing properties. It is highly soluble in water and widely utilized as a non-selective herbicide, defoliant, and bleaching agent in the paper and pulp industry. The substance is produced through the electrolysis of sodium chloride and is effective in controlling weeds in non-crop areas and aiding in plant defoliation for easier harvesting.
