Chemical Mechanisms & Reaction Pathways

Mesotrione acts as a selective triketone herbicide through inhibition of 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (4-HPPD), disrupting carotenoid synthesis and causing bleaching and death of susceptible weeds with crop selectivity.

4-HPPD Inhibition

Blocks 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase enzyme

Disrupts carotenoid biosynthesis pathway
Carotenoid Disruption

Prevents protective carotenoid formation

Leads to chlorophyll destruction and bleaching
Crop Selectivity

Rapid metabolism in tolerant crops like corn

Provides excellent crop safety margin
Residual Activity

Extended soil persistence for preemergence control

Long-lasting weed suppression
