Description

Chlorotoluron is a herbicide that inhibits the growth of plants by inhibiting photosynthesis. It is used on wheat, corn, sorghum, and rice crops because it has a lower toxicity level than other herbicides. Chlorotoluron binds to the enzyme activity site of acetyl-CoA carboxylase in the chloroplast and inhibits the production of malonyl-CoA. This decreases the incorporation of carbon dioxide into fatty acids, which affects photosynthesis. The reaction mechanism for chlorotoluron is synergistic with nitrogen atoms and nutrient solution. Chlorotoluron also has an inhibitory effect on certain bacteria such as clostridium and mycobacterium species.
