Product Description
Nicosulfuron 40 OD is an internally absorbed and rapidly transmitted herbicide that can be absorbed by the stems, leaves, and roots of plants. It inhibits the activity of acetyl lactate synthase in the plant body, prevents the synthesis of branched chain amino acids such as arginine, leucine, and isoleucine, and thus inhibits cell division, causing sensitive plants to stop growing. The symptoms of weed damage include yellowing, chlorosis, and whitening of the heart leaves, followed by yellowing of other leaves from top to bottom. Generally, symptoms of weed damage can be seen 3-4 days after application. Annual weeds die within 1-3 weeks, while perennial broad-leaved weeds with less than 6 leaves are inhibited, stop growing, and lose their competitiveness with corn. High doses can also cause perennial weeds to die.
Mode of Action
Nicosulfuron 40 OD is Sulfonylurea herbicides that inhibit plant acetyl lactate synthase (branched chain amino acid synthesis inhibitors). It can be used to prevent and control annual and perennial grasses, sedges, and certain broad-leaved weeds in corn fields. It is more active against narrow leaved weeds than broad-leaved weeds and is safe for corn crops.
