Butroxydim is a chemical used as a herbicide. It is a group A herbicide used to kill grass weeds in a range of broadacre crops.^[1] Structurally related herbicides against grasses are alloxydim, sethoxydim, clethodim, and cycloxydim. ^[2]

Butroxydim's HRAC classification is Group A (Australia and global), or Group 1 (numeric). Group A herbicides inhibit acetyl CoA carboxylase, (ACCase).^[3]
