Activity

Herbicide

Rimsulfuron is absorbed by the foliage of treated plants and translocated to the meristem. The site of action is acetolactate synthase (ALS), an enzyme in branched chain amino acid biosynthesis. The initial metabolic pathway for rimsulfuron in maize initially involves hydroxylation on the pyrimidine ring followed by glucose conjugation.

The optimum time for application varies. Generally, annual weeds require early post-emergence treatments (between two and five leaves) with annual grasses requiring treatment before tillering. Perennial weeds should be treated when taller and may benefit from sequential treatments. Adjuvants are essential for consistent weed control. A second application at up to the 6-8 leaf stage of maize is advised for the control of summer weeds. Post-emergence applications are most effective in tomatoes.

In field trials, rimsulfuron generally showed equal or better weed control than standard treatments at very much lower application rates.

Studies conducted from 19920 to 1995, showed that rimsulfuron alone gave 100% control of wild radish, 68-70% control of corn spurry and 75-90% control of narrowleaf goldenrod. The control level for corn spurry was found to be elevated when rimsulfuron was used in combination with metribuzin.

Field trials conducted in 2005 in Ontario, Canada showed that when rimsulfuron was applied post-emergically to field corn, it provided little visual control of wirestem muhly.
