Herbicide MetabolismChemical transformations of a herbicide in a plantMetabolism generally results in detoxification of a herbicide, but also can increase the toxicity of a herbicide
Altered Site of ActionInability of a herbicide to bind to the site of action due to a genetic and conformational difference at the binding site compared to susceptible biotypes.
Herbicide Resistance
Herbicide Cross ResistanceWeed resistance to different herbicides that have the same mode of action.ALS herbicides
SulfonylureasImidazolinonesTriazolopyrimidines
Herbicide Multiple Resistance
Weed biotypes with resistance to herbicides having different modes of action.Examples: kochia and pigweeds that are resistant to both triazine and ALS inhibiting herbicides.
Herbicide Translocation
Movement of the herbicide inside the plant
Contact herbicides: not translocated
Systemic herbicides: translocatedPhloem translocated
Xylem translocated

Plant Growth RegulatorsPhenoxies: 2,4-D, MCPA,
2,4-DB , etc.Benzoic Acids: Banvel, Clarity, DistinctPyridines: Tordon, Remedy,
Crossbow, Stinger, Starane
Quinolines: Paramount
Growth Regulator Use Concerns
Drift and injury to nontarget plants
Carryover: Tordon
Groundwater Contamination: Tordon
Seedling Growth Inhibitors
Thiocarbamates: Sutan, Eradicane, Eptam, Fargo
Acetanilides: Lasso, Partner, Dual Magnum, Outlook,
Harness, Surpass, Axiom, Ramrod
Dinitroanilines: Treflan, Prowl, Balan, Sonalan
Acetamides(Lasso, Dual, Outlook, Harness, Surpass, Define, Ramrod)
Applied preemergence or with shallow incorporationDisrupts cell development in emerging shoot (coleoptile) during germination and emergence
Dinitroanalines(Treflan, Prowl, Balan, Sonalan)
Generally incorporated to mix the herbicide into the soil and reduce photodecomposition and volatility losses
Inhibits cell division (mitosis)
Active on emerging shoot and the root tips
Photosynthetic InhibitorsTriazines: Atrazine, Sencor, Lexone,
Bladex, Princep, VelparPhenylureas: Lorox, Karmex, SpikeUracils: Sinbar, HyvarNitriles: BuctrilPyridazines: ToughBenzothiadiazones: Basagran
Cell Membrane Disruptors
Photosystem I Inhibitors:Dipyridiliums - Gramoxone Extra, Diquat
PPO Inhibitors:
Diphenylethers - Blazer, Cobra, Flexstar
Triazolinones - Aim, Authority, Spartan
Phenylthalimides - Resource
Cell Membrane Disruptors(Paraquat, Cobra, Blazer, Authority)
Contact herbicides - thorough spray coverage and small weeds essential for good weed control
Light activated herbicides that quickly destroy cell membranes, resulting in “leaf burn” type symptom
Amino Acid Synthesis InhibitorsALS inhibitors
Sulfonylureas: Glean, Amber, Ally, PeakFinesse, Classic, Pinnacle,
Synchrony STS, Accent, Beacon, Exceed, Permit
Imidazolinones: Scepter, Pursuit, Lightning, Raptor
Triazolopyrimidines: Broadstrike, Python, FirstRate
ESPS inhibitors:Roundup, Touchdown
ALS Inhibitors(Glean, Peak, Accent, Pursuit, Python, etc.)
Absorbed through both roots and shoots and readily
translocated in both xylem and phloem
Inhibits the Acetolactate Synthase (ALS) enzyme
responsible for the production of branched chain amino
acids valine, leucine, and isoleucine
Quick development of herbicide resistance
EPSP Inhibitors(Glyphosate)
Tightly adsorbed and inactive in soil
Phloem translocated
Inhibits EPSP enzyme responsible for production of aromatic amino acids phenylalinine, tyrosine and tryptophan
Very nontoxic
Nitrogen Metabolism Inhibitor(Liberty, Ignite 280)
Inhibits glutamine synthetase enzyme involved with nitrogen metabolism
Limited translocation
No soil activity
Lipid Synthesis Inhibitors
Postemergence grass control herbicides
Cyclohexanediones (Dims):Poast, Poast Plus, Select
Aryloxyphenoxypropionates (Fops):Assure, Fusilade, Fusion, Option
Pigment Inhibitors(Command, Balance, Callisto,
Impact, Laudis, Huskie)Absorbed through roots and shoots, but translocated only in the xylemPrevents synthesis of pigments that protect chlorophylFoliage turns white and appears bleached
