Gunacin is a plant growth regulator primarily used as a herbicide and growth modifier in agriculture. It works by disrupting the synthesis of specific proteins involved in plant cell growth, leading to the inhibition of weed development and promoting healthier crop growth. The mechanism targets certain enzymes that are crucial for the growth and survival of unwanted weeds, resulting in their death while sparing the crops. Gunacin is typically applied in fields to control weeds in various crops, improving yield and reducing competition for resources.
