APPLICATIONS
Biochemistry Branched chain amino acid synthesis (ALS or AHAS) inhibitor.  Mode of action Selective, systemic post-emergence herbicide, absorbed by foliage and roots.  Uses Control of grasses, sedges and broad-leaved weeds, especially Echinochloa spp., in direct-seeded rice, at rates of 15-45 g/ha. Also used to stunt growth of weeds in non-crop situations.  Formulation types SC; water-soluble liquid.
