TARGET (HERBICIDES)

TARGET (Sulfosulfuron 75% WG)

  • Target is a selective , early post emergence herbicide used for the effective control of halaris minorin Wheat crop.
  • It also control broad eaved weeds like Chenopodium album, Melilotus alba and other problematic weeds.
  • Absorbed through the root system and/or leaf surface and translocated to symplast and apoplast
  • It controls subsequent flushes of Phalaris minor.
  • Early control, check competition for nutrients, moisture etc.
  • Best results are obtained when it is sprayed after 1st irrigation when soil condition is fit for spraying condition.

DESCRIPTION
It is 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. selectively derives from rapid metabolism in the crop. Metabolic basis of selectively in sulfonylureas.
Mode of action
Systemic herbicide, absorbed by the root system and/or leaf surface, and translocated to symplast and apoplast.

TOXICITY  DATA
Mammalian Toxicity

:

 WHO (a.i.) III; Slightly Hazardous
Environmental Toxicity

:

 Cleavage of the sulfonylurea linkage in soil is a major pathway of metabolism,with oxidative demethylation playing a significant role in some matrices. The primary degradation pathway in soil is the hydrolytic cleavage of the sulfonylurea to yield the corresponding sulphonamide and dimethoxypyridinamide. It is moderately irritant to skin and non-irritant to eyes.
It is slightly toxic to birds and fish and non-toxic to bees.
