Description: 
Appearance: Light yellow crystal powder or light brown liquit  
Melting Point: 165ºC.
Boiling point: 4.27×10^-8mmHg(20ºC).
Density: 1.46g/ ml (20ºC)
Vapour Pressure: 5.69×10^-3 mPa(20ºC).
Solubility: In water 2.2 (pH 4.8), 15 (pH 6.9), 22 (pH 9) (all in g/l, 20 °C).  
Stability: Stable to hydrolysis (pH 4 - 9).  pKa 3.12  

Uses: 
Mesotrione will be applied pre- and post-emergence through ground or aerial application equipment. Mesotrione has herbicidal activity against broadleaf weeds. It's efficacy is the result of the inhibition of the enzyme 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) enzyme in target plants. Following treatment, in sensitive plants carotenoid biosynthesis is disrupted in the chlorophyll pathway, resulting in a bleaching effect.
