Profoxydim

Profoxydim is a selective herbicide used in rice cultivation to control grass weeds. Its chemical structure is based on 3-hydroxycyclohex-2-en-1-one, substituted at position 2 with a N-[2- (4-chlorophenoxy) propoxy]butanimidoyl group and at position 5 with a thian-3-yl group. This compound is utilized in agricultural research for studying herbicide action and resistance mechanisms in both field and laboratory settings.
