Rimsulfuron

Type: Herbicide

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

Common Product Names: Steadfast, Resolve, Hinge, Laramie, TranXit

What is it?

Rimsulfuron is a selective herbicide, meaning it targets specific weeds without harming the desired crops. It is part of the sulfonylurea class of herbicides and is widely used in agricultural practices to manage both broadleaf and grassy weeds. Rimsulfuron is typically used in crops such as corn, tomatoes, potatoes, and various fruit orchards. It is also used in turf and non crop areas as well.

How does it work?

Rimsulfuron is absorbed by the leaves and roots of the weeds. Once inside the plant it travels to the meristematic regions, where it inhibits the ALS enzyme, halting the production of essential amino acids required for plant growth. This disruption leads to the cessation of cell division and growth, causing the weed to stop growing and eventually die. Rimsulfuron is effective both as a pre-emergent and post-emergent herbicide, offering flexibility in application timing.

Benefits

  • Selective Weed Control: Rimsulfuron selectively targets a wide range of broadleaf and grassy weeds without damaging the crop, making it ideal for integrated weed management programs.
  • Flexibility in Application: It can be used both pre-emergence (before weed seeds have germinated) and post-emergence (after weed seedlings have emerged), allowing farmers to apply it based on their specific weed control needs.
  • Effective and Long-lasting: Results from Rimsulfuron applications can typically be seen within a few days to a week. It provides residual control, meaning it continues to inhibit weed growth for an extended period after application, reducing the need for multiple treatments.
