The active ingredient in Alion^® herbicide is indaziflam, a cellulose-biosynthesis inhibitor (CBI) and is one of the most effective CBIs discovered. Alion is a WSSA group 29, HRAC group L.

CBIs control weeds by inhibiting meristematic growth (generation of new cells) in developing roots once a seed begins to grow, thus preventing root development. // SEE LABEL
