In the large family of herbicides, carboxyflurane has been a well-known product. It has the outstanding characteristics of high efficiency, low toxicity, low residue, quick effect, wide application range, strong miscibility and high cost performance. It is mainly used in soybean and peanut fields, and can also be used in wheat, barley, rice, cotton, grape and other crops to control broad-leaved weeds. Carboxyflurane belongs to diphenyl ether herbicides and is an inhibitor of protoporphyrinogen oxidase. The agent is absorbed by plants and only exerts its effect under light conditions. The compound reacts with molecular oxygen to produce tetrapyrrole compounds that are toxic to plant cells and accumulate. In the process of accumulation, the plant cell membrane will completely disappear, causing the leakage of cell contents, and the plant tissue will be physically burned, affecting its growth and development, and eventually leading to death.
