Phenylureas

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Phenyl group
N -methyl urea

The phenylureas are a class of selectively effective herbicides . The active substance is mainly absorbed via the roots and the effect is based on the inhibition of photosystem II . The selectivity is due to physico-chemical factors.

The common group of phenylureas (C 8 H 7-9 N 2 O) consists of a phenyl and a methyl urea group .
