General Product Information

Category

Herbicides > Triazine herbicides

Activity

Herbicide

Studies (reported in Z. Naturforsch. 2002) carried out with triaziflam and related diaminotriazines suggested that this product acts at multiple sites in the plant. The (S) enantiomer inhibited photosystem II electron transport (PET) and growth of algae, with an efficacy similar to that of atrazine. The (R) enantiomer was 100 times more effective in cell growth inhibition, inhibiting root and shoot growth in maize and cress seedlings and producing characteristic swelling of the meristematic root tips. Further examination found that the (R) enantiomer rapidly inhibits cell division in the root tip with the chromosomes unable to progress further than the prometaphase in the mitosis process. Microtubule formation was also disrupted and cellulose deposition in the cell walls was decreased. The (S) enantiomer was significantly less potent.
