Cloransulam-methyl
Type: Herbicide
Mode of Action: Inhibition of Acetolactate Synthase, Triazolopyrimidine - Type 1 (HRAC Group 2)
Common Product Names: First Rate
What is it?
Cloransulam-methyl was developed by Dow AgroSciences, now a part of Corteva Agriscience. It belongs to the chemical class of triazolopyrimidines and is categorized under Group 2 by the Herbicide Resistance Action Committee (HRAC). This herbicide is systemic, meaning it is absorbed and translocated within the plant. It is selective, primarily targeting broadleaf weeds in soybean crops. The primary area of use for Cloransulam-methyl is in soybean fields, and it is typically applied at a low use rate.
How does it work?
Cloransulam-methyl functions by inhibiting the enzyme acetolactate synthase (ALS). This enzyme is crucial for the synthesis of branched-chain amino acids, which are essential for plant growth and development. Inhibition of ALS leads to a cessation of cell division and growth in susceptible weeds, causing them to die. The effects of Cloransulam-methyl on target weeds are usually visible within days to weeks after application, depending on the weed species and environmental conditions.
Benefits
The primary benefit of Cloransulam-methyl is its selective action, which allows for the control of many broadleaf weeds without harming soybean crops. It is effective against various weeds such as velvetleaf, pigweed, and cocklebur. This selectivity makes it an important tool for integrated weed management in soybean cultivation, contributing to improved crop yields and quality.
