Official EPA label (PDF)

“Sulfentrazone the active ingredient in PETRA 4SC is a potent inhibitor of the enzyme Protoporphyrinogen Oxidase IX (PPO IX) required for the formation of chlorophyll Inhibition of PPO IX enzyme results in the liberation of singlet oxygen (0) that in turn disrupts cellular membranes and causes cellular leakage. The ultimate manifestation of the process is cellular death leading to plant death.”
