ENVIRONMENTAL FATE
Animals: Almost completely biotransformed rapidly excreted in urine faeces of rats goats.
Plants: After uptake by rice, converted to a non-herbicidal metabolite.
Soil/Environment: DT50 4-20 w on Flanagan Keyport silt loam soils. In rice fields, DT50 in water averages 4-6 d.

Application

Biochemistry: Branched chain amino acid synthesis (ALS AHAS) inhibitor. Acts by inhibiting biosynthesis of the essential amino acids valine isoleucine, hence stopping cell division plant growth.ivity is due to rapid metabolism in the crop.
Mode of action:ive systemic herbicide, absorbed by the foliage roots, with rapid translocation to the meristematic tissues.
Uses:ive pre- post-emergence control of annual perennial weeds sedges (e.g. Butomus umbellatus, Scirpus maritimus, Scirpus mucronatus, Alisma plantago-aquatica, Sparganium erectum, Cyperus spp., Typha spp., etc.) in continuously flooded rice, at 30-100 g/ha.
Formulation types: GR; WG; WP.
