Dimidazon is a pyridazinone herbicide used to control broadleaf and grassy weeds in various crops. Its mode of action involves inhibiting photosynthesis by targeting the D1 protein in photosystem II, disrupting electron transport and leading to the accumulation of reactive oxygen species, which ultimately causes plant cell death. Dimidazon is effective against weeds in crops such as maize, sorghum, and sugarcane. Due to its selective action, it is often used in integrated weed management programs to minimize resistance development and environmental impact.
