Asulam
Type: Herbicide
Mode of Action: Inhibiting the enzyme dihydropteroate synthase (DHPS)
Common Product Names: Asulox
What is it?
Asulam is a systemic herbicide used to control a wide range of annual and perennial weeds in various crops. It is particularly effective against certain grasses and broadleaf weeds. Asulam is absorbed by the leaves and roots of the plants and translocated throughout the plant's system, making it a robust solution for weed control in crops like sugarcane, turf, and some cereals.
How does it work?
Asulam functions by blocking the enzyme DHPS, essential for folate production in plants. This blockage leads to a deficiency in folate, a vital nutrient for DNA synthesis and cell division. Without sufficient folate, plant cells cannot divide and grow, leading to stunted growth and eventual death of the weed. This herbicide is effective post-emergence, meaning it works on weeds that are already growing.
