2. MCPA - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MCPA

   MCPA (2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid) is a widely used phenoxy herbicide introduced in 1945. It selectively controls broad-leaf weeds in pasture and cereal crops. The mode of action of MCPA is as an auxin, which are growth hormones that naturally exist in plants. [2] [3]

3. Mesotrione - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesotrione

   The triketone herbicides were found to be effective on a wide range of commercially-important weed species and to have both pre- and post-emergence activity. [9] Mesotrione was chosen for development (by Zeneca Agrochemicals under the code number ZA1296) because it controls a wide range of broad-leaved weeds that compete with maize and can also suppress some annual grass weeds that may be ...

4. Metsulfuron-methyl - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metsulfuron-methyl

   Metsulfuron-methyl is an organic compound classified as a sulfonylurea herbicide, which kills broadleaf weeds and some annual grasses. [1] It is a systemic compound with foliar and soil activity, that inhibits cell division in shoots and roots. It has residual activity in soils, allowing it to be used infrequently but requiring up to 22 months ...

5. Aminocyclopyrachlor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aminocyclopyrachlor

   Aminocyclopyrachlor belongs to the pyrimidine carboxylic acid chemical family and mimics auxin which is a growth-regulating hormone in dicots including broadleaf terrestrial plants. [4] This causes undifferentiated cell division and elongation, with resulting appearance characteristic of auxin herbicide damage such as leaf twisting and curling ...

6. 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase inhibitor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate_di...

   Benzobicyclon, was introduced in 2001 for control of broadleaf weeds and some sedges that are problems in rice, that had become resistant to sulfonylurea herbicides. Mesotrione was introduced in 2002 and like sulcotrione is a triketone, so it is effective on the same weeds and crops, but is more potent, making it more useful in mixes with other ...

7. Chlorsulfuron - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorsulfuron

   Alternatively, spraying after weeds are already present in the crop will also lead to control. The product is used at application rates of 0.008–0.0155 pounds per acre (9.0–17.4 g/ha). [ 16 ] The estimated use in US agriculture is mapped by the US Geological Service and shows that from 1992 to 2017, the latest date for which figures are ...
