Pretilachlor is a chloroacetamide herbicide that inhibits the synthesis of very-long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs), which are essential for cell membrane formation in germinating weed seedlings. It is absorbed mainly through the coleoptile and young shoots of germinating grasses, sedges and certain broad-leaved weeds, disrupting cell division before or shortly after emergence.
