Cyclopyrimorate is a selective pyridazine herbicide, used to control broadleaf weeds and grassy weeds, on cereals and rice. It was launched in 2019 in Japan, and is also used in China. [1] Its mode of action is new, and cyclopyrimorate is the first member of the HRAC Group 33, (Group T, global), coming after decades of no new mode-of-action discoveries. [2]
It was invented by Mitsui Chemicals Agro, [3] who sell it tradenamed "Cyra". [1] They discovered it by modifying the structures of other pyridazine herbicides, such as pyridafol and credazine. [3]
Cyclopyrimorate works by a novel target site, of homogentisate solanesyltransferase (HST). The new mechanism avoids resistance to acetolactate synthase inhibitor herbicides. [3] It symptomatically causes bleaching, similar to other cartenoid biosynthesis inhibitors like mesotrione and norflurazon, however cyclopyrimorate is the only one to inhibit HST. [4]
