Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Hexazinone is a triazinone-class systemic herbicide that inhibits photosynthesis by blocking electron transport at photosystem II (PSII), specifically binding the D1 protein in the thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts. Absorbed through roots and foliage, it disrupts ATP and NADPH formation, leading to oxidative damage, chlorosis, and plant death. Hexazinone is used primarily for broad-spectrum weed and brush control in crops like alfalfa and in non-crop areas, with high soil mobility and potential for groundwater contamination.
