Mode of action of herbicides used in rice

Mode of action Acety CoA Carboxylase (ACCase) Inhibitors - prevents formation of fatty acids Chemical family Aryloxyphenoxy propanoates Cyclohex-anediones Acetolactate synthase (ALS), Acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS) inhibitors Mitosis inhibitors Synthetic auxins Photosystem II inhibitors - blocks protein synthesis - interferes with new plant growth - growth regulators - blocks food producing pathway Imidazolinones Sulfonylureas Dintiroanilines Phenoxy acetic acids Quinolines Triazines Triazones Uracils Benzothiadiazoles Nitriles Phenyl-pyradazine Amides Ureas Thiocarbamates - blocks protein synthesis - ammonia assimilation inhibitor - cell membrane disruptor Chloroacetanilides - cell membrane disruptor Bipyridiliums Butachlor, Pretilachlor Glyphosate Phosphorylated amino acid GlyphosateIPA glufosinate Imazapyr Chlorosulfuron Metsulfuron Pendimethalin Trifluralin 2,4-D, MCPA Quinclorac Common name Fenoxaprop Fluazifop Sethoxydim
