Orobanone

CAS: 78916-35-5

Orobanone is a natural herbicide, which is derived from broomrape plants, particularly from the Orobanche genus. Its mode of action involves disrupting the germination process of parasitic weed seeds, specifically by inhibiting the host recognition signals necessary for seed germination and subsequent parasitism. This interference in the seed's ability to recognize host root exudates ultimately prevents the parasitic lifecycle from initiating, thereby safeguarding crops from infestation.
