Mode of Action
- Metamifop is a selective, systemic post-emergent herbicide primarily targeting grasses. It is known for its excellent efficacy in controlling grassy weeds. This herbicide works by being absorbed through the leaves and stems of the plants, then translocating through the vascular system to reach the growth points. At the molecular level, Metamifop acts as an Acetyl-Coenzyme A carboxylase (ACCase) inhibitor. ACCase is a critical enzyme involved in fatty acid biosynthesis in plants. By inhibiting this enzyme, Metamifop disrupts the production of essential fatty acids, which induces chlorosis, prevents the growth and development of the targeted weeds, ultimately leading to their death
