Chemical Mechanisms & Reaction Pathways

Carfentrazone-ethyl acts as a selective herbicide through protoporphyrinogen IX oxidase (PPO) inhibition, disrupting chlorophyll biosynthesis and causing rapid leaf necrosis in susceptible broadleaf weeds and grasses.

PPO Inhibition

Protoporphyrinogen oxidase binding disrupts chlorophyll synthesis

Blocks heme and chlorophyll formation
Porphyrin Accumulation

Protoporphyrin IX accumulation leads to lipid peroxidation

Causes cellular membrane damage
Light Activation

Sunlight activation enhances herbicidal activity

Rapid visual weed burn symptoms
Contact Action

Foliar contact provides immediate weed control

Fast-acting herbicidal performance
