Imazethapyr Herbicide
Imazethapyr is a selective, systemic post-emergence herbicide of the imidazolinone group. It inhibits acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS), stopping branched-chain amino-acid synthesis so that grasses, broadleaf weeds and sedges stop growing, while leguminous crops tolerate it. It is absorbed through roots and foliage and moves to the growing points, giving residual control. RXSOL supplies the 10% SL formulation (CAS 81335-77-5, WHO class III, slightly toxic) to licensed agri-input dealers.

| Toxicity | Imazethapyr is a general use pesticide with a toxicity classification of III (slightly toxic) |
Applications
Imazethapyr inhibits the enzyme AHAS, which is crucial for the biosynthesis of branched-chain amino acids, leading to disrupted protein synthesis and weed growth suppression.
It is absorbed by both roots and foliage and translocates within the plant, accumulating in meristematic regions.
Safety Precautions:
✔ Wear protective clothing, gloves, and goggles during mixing and spraying.
✔ Avoid inhaling spray mist or direct skin contact.
