Description
Biochemistry: Photosynthetic electron transport inhibitor at the
photosystem II receptor site. Maize tolerance is attributed to
rapid detoxification by glutathione transferases.
Mode of action: Selective systemic herbicide, absorbed principally
through the roots, but also through the foliage, with translocation
acropetally in the xylem and accumulation in the apical meristems
and leaves.
Uses: Pre- and post-emergence control of annual broad-leaved weeds
and annual grasses in maize, sorghum, sugar cane, pineapples,
chemical fallow, grassland, macadamia nuts, conifers, industrial
weed control. In Europe, use is concentrated in maize and sorghum.
Used also in combinations with many other herbicides.
Phytotoxicity: Phytotoxic to many crops, including most vegetables,
potatoes, soya beans, and peanuts.
