Diclofop-methyl（Cat No.:R030437）is a selective, post-emergent herbicide used to control annual grass weeds in broadleaf crops such as wheat and barley. It functions by inhibiting acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase), an essential enzyme in lipid biosynthesis, leading to membrane disruption and growth cessation in susceptible grasses. Diclofop-methyl is rapidly absorbed through the foliage and translocated to the meristematic tissues, where it exerts its herbicidal action. The compound is hydrolyzed in plants to the active acid form, diclofop. It is valued for its effectiveness, rapid action, and compatibility in tank mixes with other herbicides.
