MODE OF ACTION

Metolachlor belongs to the alpha-chloroacetamide chemical group and is classified in HRAC Group 15 (formerly K3), the inhibitors of very-long-chain fatty-acid synthesis.

It interferes with the production of fatty acids needed for normal cell development, suppressing the growth of susceptible germinating weeds. Its uptake is mainly through germinating shoots, consistent with its pre-emergence use.
