quizalofop

Quizalofop, a chlorophenoxy and phenoxy herbicide, selectively controls grasses via acetyl-CoA-carboxylase inhibition. While widely used in agriculture, Quizalofop has been associated with developmental and cardiac toxicity in zebrafish embryos.

Quizalofop-p-ethyl ((R)-Quizalofop ethyl) is a selective post-emergent herbicide for use on annual and perennial weeds, acting as an acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) inhibitor leading to weed death.

Quizalofop-ethyl (NC 302) is a aryloxyphenoxypropionate herbicide used for post-emergence control of annual and perennial grass weeds within broadleaf crops such as soybeans, cotton, and peanuts, and its herbicidal activity is mediated through the potent inhibition of the acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) enzyme.

Quizalofop-P, a selective herbicide, is absorbed by weed stems and leaves before translocating both upward and downward within the plant, concentrating in apical and intercalary meristems. It inhibits fatty acid synthesis at the cellular level, leading to weed necrosis, and exhibits high selectivity between grass weeds and dicotyledonous crops [1].
