CAS 120923-37-7: Amidosulfuron
Description:Amidosulfuron is a selective herbicide primarily used for controlling broadleaf weeds in various crops, particularly cereals. It belongs to the class of sulfonylureas, which function by inhibiting the enzyme acetolactate synthase (ALS), crucial for amino acid synthesis in plants. This compound is characterized by its high efficacy at low application rates, making it an environmentally favorable option compared to traditional herbicides. Amidosulfuron is typically applied post-emergence, allowing it to target actively growing weeds while minimizing harm to the crop. It is soluble in water, which facilitates its application in liquid formulations. The substance is known for its relatively low toxicity to mammals and birds, although it can pose risks to aquatic organisms. Its chemical structure includes a sulfonamide group, contributing to its herbicidal activity. As with all agrochemicals, proper handling and adherence to safety guidelines are essential to mitigate any potential environmental impact.
