Fatty acid synthesis inhibitor, by inhibition of acetyl CoA carboxylase (ACCase).

Features:
- It is a grassy herbicide for the effective management of major grasses in Direct Seeded Rice.
- It is very safe for rice crops owing to selectivity offered by differential metabolism of the cyhalofop-butyl by rice and target weeds.
- It can be used with fields that are partially flooded or drained; provided weeds are exposed to spray; thus providing flexibility for various water management practices.
- It has wide window of application, low potential for drift issues to neighbouring broad leaved crops.
