Product Data Sheet
Mesotrione
Catalog No. A38886
Mesotrione is a selective herbicide that functions as a potent competitive and reversible inhibitor of the enzyme 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD). Its primary biological activity involves the disruption of carotenoid biosynthesis, leading to oxidative stress in targeted weed species. Mesotrione exhibits high tolerance in maize due to its rapid metabolism within the crop, making it a valuable tool for controlling broadleaf weeds while minimizing damage to the desirable maize plants in agricultural research and applications.
