Product Information

• Name: Metolachlor mercapturate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Metolachlor mercapturate is a metabolite of the herbicide Metolachlor, which is derived from the degradation of the primary active ingredient found in various agricultural herbicide formulations. It is formed through biotransformation processes in plants, soil, and water, where the parent compound undergoes enzymatic reactions leading to its metabolic products. The primary mode of action involves the inhibition of elongase enzymes, which are crucial for the synthesis of fatty acids in plants, thus preventing cell division and impacting weed growth effectively.
