| Description | Tiafenacil is a novel herbicide that inhibits protoporphyrinogen IX oxidase (PPO), exhibiting IC50 values ranging from 22 to 28 nM across different plant species such as amaranth (Amaranthus tuberculatus), soybean (Glycine max), arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), and rapeseed (Brassica napus)[1]. |
| In vitro | Tiafenacil has low oral and dermal acute toxicity[1].In velvetleaf, Tiafenacil causes severe growth inhibition at 1 μM and results in desiccation and death at 5 μM[1]. |
