| Active ingredient | Mesotrione | ||
| Molecular formula | |||
| Chemical name | 2-[4-(methylsulfonyl)-2-nitrobenzoyl]-1,3-cyclohexanedione | ||
| Formulation | 15%SC | ||
| Classification | Herbicide / Agrochemical | ||
| Biochemistry | p-Hydroxyphenyl pyruvate dioxygenase inhibitor, which ultimately affects carotenoid biosynthesis. Selectivity in maize derives from differential metabolism (to the 4-hydroxy derivative) and also possibly from slower foliar uptake. | ||
| Mode of action | Uptake is foliar and via the root, with both acropetal and basipetal translocation. Symptoms are whitening of leaves, followed by necrosis of the meristematic tissue. | ||
| Uses | Under development for pre- (at 100-225 g/ha) and post- (at 70-150 g/ha) emergence control of broad-leaved weeds, such as Xanthium strumarium, Ambrosia trifida, Abutilon theophrasti, and Chenopodium, Amaranthus and Polygonum spp., and some grass weeds, in maize. | ||
| Mammalian Toxicology | Oral: Acute oral LD50 for male and female rats >5000 mg/kg. Skin and eye: Acute percutaneous LD50 for male and female rats >2000 mg/kg. Practically non-irritant to skin, mild irritant to eyes (rabbits). Not a skin sensitiser (guinea pigs). Inhalation: LC50 (4 h) for male and female rats >5 mg/l. | ||
