AI Article Synopsis
- Epyrifenacil is a new herbicide developed by Sumitomo Chemical that inhibits PPO enzymes and belongs to the pyrimidinedione class with a unique three-ring structure.
- It is effective against a wide range of weeds, including both grass weeds and some resistant broadleaf weeds, thanks to its systemic movement in plants.
- The herbicide has low vapor action, minimizing harm to non-target crops, and is anticipated to enhance global food production in the near future.
Article Abstract
Epyrifenacil is a novel PPO-inhibiting herbicide discovered and developed by Sumitomo Chemical. Epyrifenacil belongs to the pyrimidinedione chemical class and has a unique three-ring structure. It is systemically active on a broad range of weeds including grass weeds and some target-site-based PPO-inhibitor resistant broadleaf weeds. Its systemic action is mediated by a phloem movement of the active form of epyrifenacil. In addition, epyrifenacil's vapor action is sufficiently low to not cause an off-target movement to nontarget sensitive crops. It is expected that epyrifenacil will contribute to global food production in the near future. © 2024 The Author(s).
