Terbuchlor is a synthetic herbicide belonging to the chloroacetanilide class, primarily used to control broad-leaved and annual grassy weeds in crops such as rice, cereals, and soybeans. Its mechanism of action involves inhibiting the biosynthesis of very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs), which are essential components of cell membranes. By disrupting VLCFA production, terbuchlor impairs cell division and growth, leading to the death of susceptible plant tissues . Additionally, terbuchlor is often formulated in combination with other herbicides, such as chlorotoluron, to enhance efficacy and selectivity, particularly in controlling weeds like Sinapis arvensis and Avena fatua in wheat and barley .
