Pendimethalin

StarStarStarStar

A pre-emergent herbicide that inhibits cell division and cell elongation in roots and shoots of emerging seedlings.

StarStarStarStar

Mesotrione

StarStarStarStar

A selective herbicide that belongs to the triketone class, disrupting HPPD leading to chlorophyll degradation and whitening of plant tissue.

StarStarStarStar

Glyphosate

StarStarStarStar

A broad-spectrum systemic herbicide that inhibits the EPSPS enzyme crucial for plant amino acid synthesis.

StarStarStarStar

Sulfentrazone

StarStarStarStar

A selective, pre-emergence herbicide that inhibits protoporphyrinogen oxidase, affecting cell membranes integrity.

StarStarStarStar

Isoxaflutole

StarStarStarStar

A pre-emergent, selective herbicide that inhibits the enzyme 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD), interfering with carotenoid synthesis and causing bleaching.

StarStarStarStar

Glufosinate

StarStarStarStar

A broad-spectrum, contact herbicide that inhibits the enzyme glutamine synthetase, leading to an accumulation of ammonia and subsequent plant death.

StarStarStarStar

Imazethapyr

StarStarStarStar

A post-emergence, selective herbicide inhibiting the synthesis of branched-chain amino acids by blocking the acetolactate synthase (ALS) enzyme.

StarStarStarStar

Dicamba

StarStarStarStar

A selective herbicide that mimics plant growth hormones, causing abnormalities that lead to plant death.

StarStarStarStar

Paraquat

StarStarStarStar

A non-selective, contact herbicide that damages cell membranes by producing superoxide radicals, leading to desiccation of green plant tissue.

StarStarStarStar

Atrazine

StarStarStarStar

Selective herbicide blocking photosynthesis by binding to photosystem II, used primarily on corn crops.

StarStarStarStar

Simazine

StarStarStarStar

A pre-emergent, triazine herbicide that inhibits photosynthesis, used mostly in orchards and vineyards.

StarStarStarStar

Flumioxazin

StarStarStarStar

A pre-emergent herbicide that inhibits protoporphyrinogen oxidase leading to the production of toxic radicals causing cell membrane destruction.

StarStarStarStar

2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D)

StarStarStarStar

Selective herbicide that mimics natural plant hormones, causing uncontrolled growth leading to plant death.

StarStarStarStar

Metolachlor

StarStarStarStar

Selective herbicide that inhibits protein synthesis in germinating seeds, preventing the development of seedling shoots.

StarStarStarStar

Trifluralin

StarStarStarStar

A pre-emergent, selective herbicide that inhibits root development by disrupting microtubule formation in cells.
