Tetrafluron is a synthetic herbicide used to control annual and perennial grasses in non-crop areas such as pastures and uncultivated land. It is absorbed mainly by the roots and acts systemically, inhibiting lipid synthesis, which disrupts cell membrane formation and impairs plant growth. This mode of action classifies it under HRAC Group Z, indicating a unique mechanism not shared with other herbicides.
