Product Information

• Name: Pyriminobac-methyl
• Synonyms: Methyl-2-(4,6-dimethoxy-2-pyrimixinyloxy)-6-[1-(methoxyimino)ethyl]benzoatekih-6127
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Pyriminobac-methyl is an herbicide that inhibits the synthesis of fatty acids and benzoate in plants. It has a synergistic effect with other compounds, such as glyphosate, atrazine, and 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. Pyriminobac-methyl is used to control weeds and grasses on pastures, rangelands, and noncropland areas. The compound is applied to plants by spraying the foliage or soil surface. Pyriminobac-methyl is absorbed by plant roots and translocated throughout the plant. The active metabolite inhibits fatty acid synthesis in cells by reacting with a malonic acid molecule in the mitochondrial membrane to form a cyclic diketone that reacts with the enzyme acyl carrier protein. This prevents attachment of acetyl groups to coenzyme A during the Krebs cycle, which blocks fatty acid synthesis.; Pyriminobac-methyl also has been shown to inhibit activity
