Oxyfluorfen, a diphenyl-ether herbicide, finds common usage in vineyards as a means of managing weed control. It effectively disrupts the biosynthesis of chlorophyll in plants by inhibiting the enzyme protoporphyrinogen oxidase. This herbicidal compound presents itself as an orange crystalline solid, possessing a non-corrosive nature. Its primary function lies in its role as an herbicide. Oxyfluorfen falls under the category of aromatic ethers, serving both as a herbicide and an inhibitor of the EC 1.3.3.4 enzyme, protoporphyrinogen oxidase. Herbicides of the diphenyl-ether type display extraordinary potency in inhibiting protoporphyrinogen oxidase, an enzyme essential to the pathways of heme and chlorophyll biosynthesis. The phytotoxic activity of diphenyl-ether herbicides is exerted by impeding chlorophyll formation within plants. This outcome arises from the inhibition of protoporphyrinogen oxidase, the final step in the shared pathway for the biosynthesis of chlorophyll and heme.
