HerbiPAD : a free web platform to comprehensively analyze constitutive property and herbicide‐likeness to estimate chemical bioavailability

Herbicides, as efficient weed control measures, play a crucial role in ensuring food security. The emergence of herbicide-resistant weeds has negatively affected food security and promoted the demand for new and improved herbicides. The balance between bioavailability and the potency of a compound is one of the most pressing challenges in the development of novel ideal herbicides. Herbicide-likeness analysis is crucial for the evaluation of this balance and thus may help to address this issue. Many herbicide-likeness analysis methods have been developed to screen potential novel lead compounds. However, there remains a lack of user-friendly and integrated tools to comprehensively evaluate herbicide-likeness.
