K 114 is a selective herbicide, which is a synthetic chemical intervention designed to target and manage unwanted plant species in agricultural settings. Derived from advanced chemical synthesis processes, it ensures high purity and efficacy in real-world applications. The mode of action involves the inhibition of key enzymatic pathways crucial for the survival and growth of broadleaf and grassy weeds, thereby effectively hindering their development without affecting the desired crops. The primary uses and applications of K 114 are in controlling a variety of weeds in diverse cropping systems such as maize, soybeans, and wheat. Its selectivity allows for targeted action, minimizing damage to the crops and preserving yield potential. Researchers and practitioners in agronomy and crop protection will find K 114 particularly valuable in integrated weed management programs, where it can be combined with other cultural and chemical practices to sustain agricultural productivity and mitigate resistance development in weed populations.

K114 binds tightly to amyloid fibrils (EC50: 20-30 nM). K114 is an efficient detector of semen-derived enhancer of virus infection (SEVI).
