Mode of Action: Inhibiting the production of cellulose in susceptible plants

Common Product Names: Snapshot & Gallery

What is it?

Isoxaben is a selective pre-emergent herbicide primarily used to control broadleaf weeds in various settings, such as turfgrass, ornamentals, and non-crop areas. It is often applied to prevent the germination of weeds rather than to eliminate existing ones.Users can expect to see results in terms of weed prevention soon after application, with long-lasting residual effects that can help maintain weed-free areas for several months, depending on the environmental conditions and application rate. Isoxaben is absorbed by the roots of germinating weeds and inhibits their growth, leading to their eventual death.

How does it work?

Isoxaben functions by targeting and inhibiting the synthesis of cellulose in the plant cells of susceptible weeds. Cellulose is an essential structural component of plant cell walls, and without it, the cells cannot maintain their structure and integrity. This inhibition prevents the germination and establishment of new weeds.

Benefits

  • Selective Weed Control: Thifensulfuron-methyl selectively targets broadleaf weeds without harming the crop, making it ideal for integrated pest management.
  • Low Application Rates: It is effective at low dosages, which reduces the amount of chemical used and minimizes environmental impact.
  • Flexible Application Timing: It can be applied post-emergence, allowing farmers to target weeds that have already emerged and ensuring timely control.
