Alorac is a halogenated aliphatic herbicide (plant growth regulator) which is thought to be obsolete, and released in the early 2000s, which works by inhibiting gibberellin biosynthesis.^[3]

Some 18 to 27 kg of CO₂ are released for every kilogram of alorac technical produced.^[3]

There is little information available about alorac,^[3] though it is mentioned in many lists of herbicides.^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7]^[2]

Its US EPA chemical code is 22700.^[3]
