- Diclofop-methyl is a selective, post-emergence Aryloxyphenoxypropionate (Group A) herbicide.
- It acts by inhibiting acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase), leading to chlorosis and plant death. ACCase is a critical enzyme that catalyzes the first committed step of fatty acid synthesis, converting acetyl-CoA to malonyl-CoA, which is essential for plant cell membrane production.
- One study showed that diclofop-methyl can alter biochemical parameters and increase oxidative stress in test animals, including zebrafish (Abd-Alrahman et al., 2014; Cao et al., 2020).
- Diclofop-methyl is cardiotoxic. Exposure to different concentrations of diclofop . . .
