Quizalofop Ethyl is a selective herbicide belonging to the aryloxyphenoxypropionate (AOPP) class. It is widely used for post-emergent control of annual and perennial grass weeds in a variety of broad-leaf crops. It works by inhibiting acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase), an enzyme critical for fatty acid biosynthesis in plants, leading to the disruption of weed growth and development.
