Mode of Action: The mode of action of Katyayani Massacre involves inhibiting plant cell division and growth. This systemic herbicide is absorbed by the plant and translocated throughout its tissues, affecting both contact and residual soil activity. It rapidly inhibits the four hydroxy-phenylpyruvate-dioxygenase (4-HPPD) enzymes, preventing the production of carotenoids, which leads to chlorophyll bleaching and ultimately the death of the weeds.
