Chemistry:Cynmethylin
From HandWiki
Cynmethylin (or cinmethylin) is a preёmergent cineole herbicide used in Australia on wheat, and commonly for rice and cereal crops. It is the only Group T (Aus) (Group Q, global, Group 30, numeric) herbicide. It controls annual ryegrass and the unusual mode of action avoids resistance. It works by inhibiting fatty acid thioesterase, disrupting cell membranes.[1][2] It was introduced in 1989. As of 2025, approval is pending in Europe.[1]
Cynmethylin was first registered in Australia in 2003 (as an active product), but as a product only in 2019, by BASF, as a 750 g/l emulsifiable concentrate.[3][4]
Cynmethylin can provide 12 weeks' residual control.[2]
It is sold under the tradenames "Luximax", "Cinch" and "Argold".[2][1]
