Dofenapyn is a novel herbicidal compound used for post-emergent control of broadleaf weeds in various crops. It acts by inhibiting the enzyme hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD), which plays a key role in carotenoid biosynthesis. This disruption leads to bleaching of chlorophyll and oxidative damage, ultimately causing plant death. Dofenapyn’s mode of action makes it effective against herbicide-resistant weed species when used as part of an integrated weed management strategy.
