Acifluorfen is an herbicide against broadleaf weeds. Prevents plant photosynthetic activity by inhibiting the synthesis of chlorophyll. It also works by inhibiting acetolactate synthase activity which is involved in the biosynthesis of branched-chain amino acids. Acifluorfen has also been found to affect the reproductive process of plants by reducing fertility and seed production.
