Pyrimisulfan

Type: Herbicide

Mode of Action: Inhibiting the enzyme acetolactate synthase (ALS)

Common Product Names: Vexis

What is it?

Pyrimisulfan is a selective herbicide belonging to the sulfonylurea class. It is designed to control a broad spectrum of weeds, particularly in cereal crops like wheat and barley. Its high efficacy and low application rates make it a popular choice among farmers seeking to optimize their weed management practices. Pyrimisulfan can be used both as a post-emergent and pre-emergent herbicide, providing flexibility in its application. As a post-emergent herbicide, it is most effective when applied to young, actively growing weeds. Visible results can often be seen within a few days to a week, with complete weed control occurring within a few weeks.

How does it work?

Pyrimisulfan functions by inhibiting the ALS enzyme, which is vital for the production of amino acids necessary for plant growth. This inhibition leads to the cessation of cell division and growth in susceptible weed species, ultimately resulting in their death. The herbicide is absorbed by the foliage and roots of weeds, ensuring comprehensive control.

Benefits

  • Fast-Acting: Results can be seen within a few days to a week after application, allowing for timely assessment and intervention.
  • Flexible Application: It can be used both pre-emergent and post-emergent, providing versatility in weed management strategies.
