Uses
Cycloxydim is a cyclohexene oxime herbicide that is used for the control of grass weeds of many agricultural and horticultural broad-leaved crops.
Definition
ChEBI: A beta-diketone that is cyclohexa-1,3-dione which is substituted at position 2 by an N-ethoxybutanimidoyl group and at position 5 by a tetrahydro-2H-thiopyran-3-yl group. A systemic herbicide effective
against grasses, it is used in the cultivation of a variety of crops, including oil seed rape and potatoes.
Metabolic pathway
Cycloxydim is rapidly metabolized in soybean plants,
and four series of different types of metabolite in either
free or conjugated form are identified. Transformation
products are formed by chemical and/or enzymatic
reactions involving a range of oxidation, a
rearrangement, and cleavage of the cyclohexanone
ring or ethoxyimino side chain.
