3.  Applications

Mode of Action

 The compound controls weeds by reducing the levels of three branched-chain aliphatic amino acids, isoleucine, leucine and valine, through the inhibition of aceto-hydroxyacid synthase, an enzyme common to the biosynthetic pathway for these amino acids.

This inhibition causes a disruption in protein synthesis which, in turn, leads to an interference in DNA synthesis and cell growth. 

Crops

Non-crop areas, such as industrial sites, railways, roads, drainage channels, etc.,

In forestry management;

And in plantations of rubber trees and oil palms.

Control

 Pre- and post-emergence control of annual and perennial grasses, sedges and broad-leaved weeds, as well as many brush and deciduous tree species.
