Branched chain amino acid synthesis (ALS or AHAS) inhibitor. Selectivity
in soya beans and peanuts is attributed to rapid detoxification via
demethylation and glycosylation (B. Tecle et al., Proc. 1997 Br. Crop
Prot. Conf. - Weeds, 2,605). Post-emergence herbicide, absorbed through
both foliage and roots and translocated to growing points. Plants wilt
and turn brown.For post-emergence weed control in soya beans and other
legumes grown in rotation with sugar beet and other crops where more
persistent imidazolinones are not suited and in crops tolerant to
imazamox, such as 'Clearfield' wheat, rape and sunflowers. Application
rates 0.032-0.05 lb/a.
