Diethatyl, commonly used as diethatyl-ethyl, is a selective pre-emergence herbicide primarily applied in crops like corn, peanuts, and soybeans to control annual grasses and broadleaf weeds. It works by inhibiting cell division and growth in germinating weed seeds, targeting enzymes involved in fatty acid and lipid biosynthesis. The herbicide is absorbed mainly through shoots and roots, interfering with membrane formation and disrupting seedling development.
