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. Selectivity derives from rapid metabolism in the crop. Metabolic basis of selectivity in sulfonylureas reviewed (M. K. Koeppe & H. M. Brown, Agro-Food-Industry, 6, 9-14 (1995)). Mode of action Absorbed by plants mainly through the roots and translocated throughout the plant. Inhibits shoot growth and retards root development. Uses Controls most annual (excluding Echinochloa oryzicola) and perennial broad-leaved weeds and sedges in paddy rice (75-95 g/ha) and turf (500-1000 g/ha). Formulation types GR; SC. Selected products: 'Sibatito' (Sumitomo Chemical Takeda); 'Takeoff' (Sumitomo Chemical Takeda)
