CAS 74223-64-6: Metsulfuron-methyl
Description:Metsulfuron-methyl is a systemic herbicide belonging to the sulfonylurea class, primarily used for controlling broadleaf weeds and some grasses in various crops. It is characterized by its selective action, which allows it to target specific plant species while minimizing harm to desirable crops. The chemical structure of metsulfuron-methyl includes a sulfonylurea moiety, contributing to its mode of action, which involves inhibiting the enzyme acetolactate synthase (ALS), essential for amino acid synthesis in plants. This herbicide is typically applied post-emergence and is known for its low application rates and high efficacy, making it an environmentally favorable option. Metsulfuron-methyl is soluble in water and has a relatively low toxicity profile for humans and animals, although it can be harmful to aquatic organisms. Its persistence in the environment varies based on soil type and climatic conditions, necessitating careful management to prevent potential off-target effects. Overall, metsulfuron-methyl is valued in agricultural practices for its effectiveness and selectivity in weed management.
