Product Detail

Model No.: 83055-99-6

Selective systemic herbicide, absorbed by the foliage and roots, with rapid translocation to the meristematic tissues.

Common name: bensulfuron-methyl

Chemical Abstracts name: methyl 2-[[[[[(4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yl)-amino]carbonyl]amino]sulfonyl]methyl]benzoate

CAS RN: [83055-99-6]

PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY

Composition: Tech. is 96%. Mol. wt.: 410.4; M.f.: C16H18N4O7S; Form: White to pale yellow, odourless solid. M.p.: 185-188 ºC; V.p.: 2.8x10-9 mPa (25 ºC). KOW: logP = 2.45 (pH 1.5), 0.62 (pH 7) (both at 30 ºC). Henry: 1.4x10-11 Pa m3 mol-1 S.g./density: 1.41; Solubility: In water 2.9 (pH 5), 12 (pH 6), 120 (pH 7), 1200 (pH 8) (all in mg/l, 25 ºC). In acetone 1.38, acetonitrile 5.38, dichloromethane 11.7, ethyl acetate 1.66, hexane >0.01, xylene 0.280 (all in g/l, 20 ºC). Stability: Aqueous solutions are most stable under slightly alkaline conditions (pH 8), and slowly degrade under acidic conditions; DT50 11 d (pH 5), 143 d (pH 7) (25 ºC).

APPLICATIONS

Biochemistry: Branched chain amino acid synthesis (ALS or AHAS) inhibitor. Acts by inhibiting biosynthesis of the essential amino acids valine and isoleucine, hence stopping cell division and plant growth. Selectivity is due to rapid metabolism in the crop.

Mode of action: Selective systemic herbicide, absorbed by the foliage and roots, with rapid translocation to the meristematic tissues.

Uses: Selective pre- and post-emergence control of annual and perennial weeds and sedges (e.g. Butomus umbellatus, Scirpus maritimus, Scirpus mucronatus, Alisma plantago-aquatica, Sparganium erectum, Cyperus spp., Typha spp., etc.) in continuously flooded rice, at 30-100 g/ha.

Formulation types: GR; WG; WP.

ENVIRONMENTAL FATE

Animals: Almost completely biotransformed and rapidly excreted in urine and faeces of rats and goats.

Plants: After uptake by rice, converted to a non-herbicidal metabolite.

Soil/Environment: DT50 4-20 w on Flanagan and Keyport silt loam soils. In rice fields, DT50 in water averages 4-6 d.
