Alloxydim-sodium (CAS 55635-13-7)
QUICK LINKS
Alloxydim-sodium is a selective herbicide that functions by inhibiting the synthesis of fatty acids in plants. It acts by targeting and blocking the enzyme acetyl-CoA carboxylase, which is for the production of fatty acids. This inhibition disrupts the normal growth and development of grassy weeds, ultimately leading to their death. Alloxydim-sodium′s mechanism of action involves interfering with the cellular processes involved in lipid metabolism, thereby disrupting the structural integrity and function of the plant′s cell membranes. This disruption ultimately results in the desiccation and death of the targeted weeds, making it a useful for controlling unwanted vegetation in agricultural and horticultural applications.
