product description

Iodosulfuron-methyl is a potent, selective herbicide designed for post-emergence control of broadleaf and grassy weeds in cereal crops, particularly wheat and barley. With its systemic action, this herbicide quickly penetrates the weed, inhibiting growth and ultimately leading to its death. As a result, it helps protect crops from competition, ensuring higher yields and better field conditions.

Formulation & Action
It is typically available in water-dispersible granules (WG) or suspension concentrate (SC) formulations. It works by inhibiting the acetolactate synthase (ALS) enzyme, which is crucial for amino acid production in plants. By blocking this enzyme, it disrupts protein synthesis, leading to weed death. Moreover, it provides long-lasting control with minimal impact on the environment, due to its effectiveness at low application rates.

Target Crops
Primarily,it is used in cereal crops such as wheat, barley, and oats. Its selective nature ensures that it targets harmful weeds while leaving the main crops unharmed, making it ideal for preserving crop health and improving yields. Additionally, it is sometimes used in pastures and other non-crop areas.

Weeds Controlled
Iodosulfuron-methyl is highly effective against a variety of broadleaf and grassy weeds. For instance, it controls species like blackgrass, wild oats, chickweed, and annual ryegrass. By delivering a systemic impact, it eliminates even tough, deep-rooted weeds, preventing regrowth and reducing weed competition in cereal fields.
