Classification of herbicides according to mechanism of action, chemical family, and herbicide group
The poster includes four large columns and 16 colors. Large columns are separated by thick white lines. The large columns and colors are made to simplify the herbicide classification. For example, the first left large column and the upper three colors of the second and third left large columns are affected by the processes of photosynthesis, amino acid and fatty acid biosynthesis, respectively. Active ingredients of the herbicides based on their chemical structure have been classified within chemical families. Herbicide groups on the upper left and right side of the chemical family are specified by the HRAC and WSSA groups and their active ingredients have been placed under the structure of the chemical family, thus each cell contains the name and structure of chemical family, herbicide group, and active ingredient. Each cell is separated by thin white lines from the other cells on the image. Overall, the poster includes 430 herbicides which have been classified by 16 mechanisms of action and 119 chemical families. 23 HRAC groups and 28 WSSA groups have been designated for the herbicides.
