    Selective Systemic Herbicide: Visual Effect of Herbicidal Activity

    Uploaded by

    Javier Cobos Mora
    Nicosulfuron is a selective systemic herbicide developed by ISK for post-emergence control of annual grasses, broadleaf weeds, and some perennial weeds in maize. It works by inhibiting the ALS enzyme and interrupting amino acid synthesis, resulting in halted plant growth. Nicosulfuron provides broad-spectrum control of many common weed species at rates from 30-70 g/ha, is rain-fast and safe for birds, fish, and bees. It has been widely used commercially in major maize growing regions since the 1990s under various trade names.

    NICOSULFURON

    Selective systemic herbicide

    Nicosulfuron, discovered and developed by ISK, is a sulfonylurea herbicide for maize.


    ISK started to commercialize Nicosulfuron on global basis since in the early 1990 s.

    Nicosulfuron controls a wide range of weeds covering not only annual but also perennial
    species.

    Particularly, Nicosulfuron provides so-called inter-genera selectivity between maize and closely
    related grass weeds, including perennial weeds like Johnson grass.

    With the excellent performance, Nicosulfuron has gained public favor in large maize planted
    areas such as Europe, United States, South America, etc.

    Application
    Uses Selective post-emergence control in maize of annual grass weeds, broad-leaved
    weeds and perennials grass weeds such as Sorghum halepense and Agropyron repens
    applied at 30∼70 g a.i./ha.
    Phytotoxicity Nicosulfuron may cause yellow bands on leaves for the rare occasion.
    Research has shown that this symptom is transient and does not affect the yield.

    Mode of Action Characterisitics Toxicology & Ecotoxicology

    The visual symptoms appear within

    the whole plants are normally killed
    within 20 to 25 days.
    Selectivity The selectivity of ISHIHARA SANGYO KAISHA，LTD.
    Nicosulfuron is due to the capacity
