COMMERCIALISATION
History Reported by M. E. Condon et al. (Proc. Br. Crop Prot. Conf. - Weeds, 1993, 1, 41). Introduced in August 1997 by BASF; combination products with Bayer, Kaken, and Chugai. Patents US 5009699 Manufacturers BASF
APPLICATIONS
Biochemistry Branched chain amino acid synthesis (ALS or AHAS) inhibitor. Acts by inhibiting biosynthesis of the essential amino acids valine and isoleucine, hence stopping cell division and plant growth. Contributing factors for herbicide safety in rice, wheat and barley are herbicide and crop placement, metabolic inactivation in the shoot, and the ability to translocate the herbicide to sites of potential metabolic inactivation (S. J. Rodaway et al., Proc. Br. Crop Prot. Conf. - Weeds, 1993, 1, 239). Uses Control of a variety of dicotyledonous and sedge weeds, e.g. Cyperus serotinus, Eleocharis kuroguwai and Sagittaria pygmaea in rice, and Galium aparine, Matricaria spp., Veronica spp., Sinapis arvensis and Brassica napus in wheat and barley at 25-50 g/ha, and in rice at 45-60 g/ha. Formulation types GR; WP. Selected products: 'Invest' (BASF); 'Jin-Qiu' (BASF); 'Orysa' (BASF)

ENVIRONMENTAL FATE
Animals In rats, cyclosulfamuron is rapidly absorbed and readily excreted, mainly via the faeces. Plants In crop plants, by hydrolysis of the urea bridge, giving inactive compounds. See Biochemistry. Soil/Environment Koc (ave) in 4 U.S. soils and 4 Japanese paddy soils is 1440.
