ragweed, redroot

| Uptake and Translocation |
Following foliar application, chlorimuron is rapidly
absorbed through the leaves and translocated in both xylem and
phloem. |
| Basis of Selectivity |
Inhibition of acetolactate synthase (ALS) enzyme
in susceptible plants leads to a rapid cessation of cell division
and growth. Tolerant species rapidly convert chlorimuron to non-phytotoxic
metabolites. |
| Application Methods |
Postemergence |
| Residual Activity |
Chlorimuron will provide some limited residual
activity after application. |
| Unique Characteristics |
A non-ionic surfactant must be added at 0.2% v/v.
28% Urea ammonium nitrate (U.A.N.) at 2 L/ha will improve the
control of velvetleaf. Typical symptoms of plant death (chlorosis,
necrosis) may occur from 1-3 weeks after application, depending
on growing conditions. Favourable growing conditions will speed
the activity while cool or dry conditions will delay activity. |
