Pyriclor is a selective herbicide used primarily in direct-seeded rice to control grassy weeds such as Echinochloa crus-galli. It works by inhibiting carotenoid biosynthesis, which leads to chlorophyll degradation and bleaching of weed foliage upon light exposure. This disruption ultimately causes plant death while maintaining crop safety. Pyriclor is typically applied in the early stages of weed development for optimal effectiveness.
