MedKoo Cat#: 146311 | Name: Pethoxamid

Description:

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

Pethoxamid is a pre-emergent herbicide used to control annual grasses and certain broadleaf weeds in crops such as corn, soybeans, and sunflowers. It belongs to the chloroacetamide chemical class and works by inhibiting very-long-chain fatty acid (VLCFA) synthesis, disrupting cell division and growth in germinating weed seeds. Pethoxamid is absorbed primarily through the roots and coleoptiles of emerging seedlings, providing early-season weed control. Its soil persistence and selectivity make it effective in integrated weed management programs with minimal crop injury.
