SETHOXYDIM PESTANAL 10MG (C005B-059490)

General description

Sethoxydim is a grass-active herbicide that is very effective for postemergence control of annual and perennial grasses. Sethoxydim belongs to the cyclohexanediones family and is mainly applied to broad-leaved crops, including cotton, oilseed rape, soybeans, sugar beets, fodder beets, sunflowers, spinach, potatoes, tobacco, peanuts, strawberries, alfalfa, flax, and vegetables. The herbicide act by inhibiting plastid acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) of monocotyledonous species, causing chloroplast bleaching, tissue necrosis, growth reduction, and ultimately death of a plant.

Sethoxydim is not approved for its use in the European Union. Maximum residue levels (MRLs) have been set according to Reg (EC) No 839/2008 for sethoxydim (to be calculated as the sum of sethoxydim and clethodim including degradation products) for various products of plant and animal origin from 0.05 to 1 mg/kg.

Application

The analytical standard can be used to:

• Study the inhibition effect of acetyl-CoA carboxylase in barley chloroplasts using cycloxydim, sethoxydim, and clethodim herbicides
• Study the photochemical changes and oxidative damage in four foxtail millet varieties after exposure to sethoxydim
• Study the resistance mechanism of chloroplastic acetyl-CoA carboxylase from green foxtail (Setaria viridis L. Beauv.) towards cyclohexanedione herbicide sethoxydim
• Study the inhibition mechanism of acetyl-CoA carboxylase by sethoxydim and haloxyfop using a semipurified enzyme preparation extracted from black Mexican sweet maize
• Evaluate the tolerance of 11 grass species used in minimal-to-no-mow turf areas to three postemergence herbicides applied at one- and twofold recommended label rates
• Generate sethoxydim-resistant mutants of Micractinium sp. by UV-C mutagenesis for increased cellular triacylglycerol (TAG) without compromising on growth rate
