Pinoxaden is a selective herbicide used primarily in agriculture to control grass weeds in cereal crops such as wheat and barley. It inhibits the enzyme acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase), which is essential for lipid synthesis in plants. By disrupting lipid production, pinoxaden halts the growth of grass weeds without harming broadleaf crops. Its selective action and low toxicity to mammals make it an effective and environmentally friendly option for weed management. Pinoxaden contributes to higher crop yields and improved quality in cereal production systems.
