Tripropindan is an systemic herbicide primarily used to control broadleaf weeds in crops such as rice and sugarcane. It functions by inhibiting the enzyme acetolactate synthase (ALS), which is essential for the biosynthesis of branched-chain amino acids in plants. This disruption halts protein synthesis and cell division, leading to plant death. Tripropindan is typically applied post-emergence and is effective against a wide range of broadleaf weeds.
