Synthetic hormone herbicides as natural hormone mimics, by destroying the plant growth regulating process and effect. When the products and the target binding site, will induce the life activities increased, lead to sensitive plants to grow out of control, eventually leading to its death. Synthetic hormone herbicide mainly through foliar absorption, a small amount of absorbed through the roots. The effective ingredients into the plant through the xylem and phloem conduction, and in the growing point of accumulation and play a role.

Synthetic hormone herbicides generally have the absorption and transmission performance, development, rapid onset, symptoms similar to adapt to a variety of farming system, not easy to produce resistance (because the target is more complex, there are 5 common target sites) etc..

But compared with the traditional synthetic hormone herbicides, aryl pyridine carbamate herbicide also has its own characteristics: such as target sites have a unique combination of broad-spectrum, (except on broadleaf weeds and sedges effectively, on main gramineous weeds effectively), consumption is very low, quick, effective, rapid degradation, low volatile, and other compounds can mix well to after crop safety.
