TRIN TRIN is a broad spectrum post emergence herbicide recommended for use along with surfactant for control of broad leaf and grassy weeds in corn. Tembotrione, the active ingredient in TRIN TRIN.
MODE OF ACTION
Tembotrione, the active ingredient in TRIN TRIN, inhibits the activity of the 4 hydroxy-phenyl-pyruvate-dexygenase (4 HPPD) enzyme. The formation of carotenoid (plant pigments) is disrupted by the blockage of the enzyme. Depletion of carotenoids deprives chlorophyll – where photosynthesis takes place – of its protection against an over dose of light and this results in chlorophyll bleaching.
