Chemical Mechanisms & Reaction Pathways

Metribuzin acts as a selective triazinone herbicide through inhibition of photosystem II electron transport, disrupting photosynthesis and causing chlorosis and death in susceptible weeds with selective crop tolerance.

Photosystem II Inhibition

Blocks electron transport in photosystem II

Disrupts photosynthetic energy production
Chlorophyll Destruction

Causes chlorophyll breakdown and yellowing

Results in visible chlorosis and plant death
Crop Selectivity

Rapid metabolism in tolerant crops like tomatoes

Provides excellent crop safety margin
Soil Activity

Effective both as pre- and post-emergence treatment

Flexible application timing options

Regulatory Compliance & Documentation

Comprehensive regulatory compliance ensures global agricultural market access with complete documentation packages supporting international standards and triazinone herbicide regulations.
