To discover protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO) inhibitors with robust herbicidal activity and crop safety, three types of substituted 3-(pyridin-2-yl)phenylamino derivatives bearing amide, urea, or thiourea as side chain were designed via structure splicing strategy. Postemergence herbicidal activity...
