Uptake and Translocation Following foliar application, is rapidly absorbed and translocated in both xylem and phloem.
Basis of Selectivity  Inhibition of acetolactate synthase in susceptible plants leads to a rapid cessation of cell division and growth. Tolerant species rapidly convert ethametsulfuron-methyl to non-phytotoxic metabolites.
Application Methods Postemergence
Residual Activity Rapid soil microbial degradation.
Unique Characteristics A non-ionic surfactant must be added. Typical symptoms of plant death (leaf crinkling, curling, chlorosis) occur 5-10 days after application depending on growing conditions.
Manufacturer / Registrant Dupont Canada Inc..
