Monuron(CAT: M070010) is a selective herbicide belonging to the family of ureas, acting by inhibiting photosynthesis in plants. It specifically targets photosystem II, disrupting the electron transport chain and leading to the cessation of ATP production, ultimately causing plant death. Monuron is primarily used in Metabolic Disease Research related to plants, though it is more commonly applied in agriculture for weed control in crops like sugarcane, cotton, and maize. Its mechanism of action makes it effective against a wide range of annual grasses and broadleaf weeds, providing a useful tool in managing weed resistance in agricultural systems.
