Amibuzin is a synthetic herbicide belonging to the triazinone class, primarily used for controlling weeds in rice cultivation. Its mechanism of action involves inhibiting photosystem II (PSII) within the plant's chloroplasts, disrupting the electron transport chain essential for photosynthesis. This inhibition leads to a cessation of CO₂ fixation and energy production, resulting in the accumulation of toxic metabolites and eventual plant death. Amibuzin is considered obsolete in many regions due to concerns over its environmental impact and potential toxicity to humans and biodiversity .
