Abstract Despite their long history of effective use in agroecosystems, the precise molecular mechanisms of many pre-emergent herbicides are not fully understood. This study investigates the effects of three Group 15 pre-emergent herbicides (Flufenacet, S-ethyl dipropylthiocarbamate (EPTC), and tri-allate) on two well-characterized blackgrass (Alopecurus myosuroides) biotypes.
