MedKoo Cat#: 146306 | Name: Picolinafen

Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Picolinafen is a selective herbicide used primarily for post-emergent control of broadleaf weeds in cereal crops like wheat and barley. It belongs to the pyridinecarboxamide class and works by inhibiting phytoene desaturase (PDS), an enzyme involved in carotenoid biosynthesis. This disruption leads to the breakdown of chlorophyll under light exposure, causing bleaching and death of susceptible plants. Its selectivity allows it to target weeds while minimizing harm to the crop.
