Abstract
[Herbicides act by inhibiting the function of a protein or an enzyme that is involved in certain vital biological possesses. For example, glyphosate and chlorosulfuron inactivate key enzymes in the biosynthesis of amino acids (Table 15.1). Bromoxynil and atrazine interfere with photosynthesis by binding with the QB protein. Herbicides are therefore non-selective, because the biosynthetic pathways involved are present in both the weed and the crop plant. The effectiveness of a herbicide on the control of weeds depends on the differential uptake or metabolism of the herbicide between the weed and the crop.]
