Pyraquinate is a chemical herbicide. It is a benzoylpyrazole, having a central functional group that includes a benzoyl group combined with pyrazole, [1] and is in the class of 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase inhibiting herbicides. [2] Its formula is C27H28ClN5O5. [3]

The herbicide was patented in 2022, but only released to market in 2025. [4] It is not approved for use in any European Union countries. Under HRAC classification, it is placed in class F2. [5]

Several crystalline forms of pyraquinate are known. The commercially available form, as well as several of its polymorphs, has a triclinic crystal system. [6]

Uses

Pyraquinate was developed for use in the treatment of rice-growing paddy fields to reduce the incidence of moleplant. [4] The product, manufactured by Shandong Cynda Chemical Co., Ltd., was approved for use in China on September 17, 2024. [7] Other plants that pyraquinate is effective against are Leptochloa panicea , various Echinochloa species, Eragrostis japonica , Lecrsia oryzoides , and Paspalum distichum . [8]
