One major complication to the use of herbicides for weed control is the ability of plants to evolve herbicide resistance, rendering the herbicides ineffective against target plants. Out of 31 known herbicide modes of action, weeds have evolved resistance to 21. 268 plant species are known to have evolved herbicide resistance at least once. [ 59 ]

2,4,5-Trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (also known as 2,4,5-T), a synthetic auxin, is a chlorophenoxy acetic acid herbicide used to defoliate broad-leafed plants. It was developed in the late 1940s, synthesized by reaction of 2,4,5-Trichlorophenol and chloroacetic acid. It was widely used in the agricultural industry until being phased out, starting ...
Metribuzin (4-amino-6-tert-butyl-3-(methylthio)-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-one) is a herbicide used both pre- and post-emergence in crops including soy bean, potatoes, tomatoes and sugar cane. It acts by inhibiting photosynthesis by disrupting photosystem II. [2] It is widely used in agriculture and has been found to contaminate groundwater. [3]
Chlortoluron was first licensed for use in the European Union in 1994 [10] and this has been extended, currently until October 2021. [11] It is now mainly used in mixture with other herbicides including diflufenican and pendimethalin. [12]
Trifluralin is a common pre-emergent selective herbicide, a dinitroaniline. With about 14 million pounds (6,400 t) used in the United States in 2001, [3] and 3–7 million pounds (1,400–3,200 t) in 2012, [4] it is one of the most widely used herbicides. Trifluralin is also used in Australia, [5] and New Zealand, [6] previously in the
It is used for grass and broadleaf weed control in corn, soybean, peanuts, sorghum, and cotton. It is also used in combination with other herbicides. Metolachlor is a popular herbicide in the United States. [3] As originally formulated metolachlor was applied as a racemate, a 1:1 mixture of the (S)- and (R)-stereoisomers.
