Tioclorim is a systemic herbicide used to control broadleaf weeds in various crops, including cereals and vegetables. It functions by inhibiting the enzyme acetolactate synthase (ALS), which is crucial for the biosynthesis of essential branched-chain amino acids in plants. This disruption halts protein synthesis, leading to stunted growth and eventual plant death. Tioclorim is typically applied post-emergence and is effective against a wide range of broadleaf weeds.
