Irgarol is a photosystem-II (PSII) herbicide that inhibits photosynthetic electron transport in chloroplasts. Irgarol, a synthetic compound belonging to the organotin family, serves as a biocide in antifouling paints, safeguarding boats and ships against the proliferation of marine organisms. Irgarol has gained widespread usage as an antifouling agent. Its effectiveness extends to various organisms, including algae, molluscs, and barnacles.
