Substituted pyridazinone herbicides directly inhibit photosystem II, chloroplast pigment biosynthesis, and membrane lipid biosynthesis. Depending on the substitution, pyridazinones can specifically inhibit the synthesis of linolenic acid in galacto-lipids and phospholipids preferentially alter the fatty acid composition of monogalactosyl diglycerides compared with digalactosyl diglycerides and cause a build-up of saturated fatty acids in the chloroplast membranes.

The exact function of galactolipids is uncertain. It is clear that the galacto-lipids which represent 80% of the polar lipids in chloroplasts are the principal constituents of the fluid bilayer, acting both as a permeability barrier to polar molecules and as a flexible framework capable of accommodating a variety of proteins.
