About Pyrithiobac- Sodium 10% EC

Pyrithiobac Sodium 10% EC is a selective post-emergence herbicide primarily used for controlling broadleaf weeds in cotton crops.

Overview and Uses

Pyrithiobac Sodium 10% EC is formulated as an early post-emergence systemic herbicide for cotton. It is highly effective against a wide range of broadleaf (dicot) weeds, including Trianthema spp., Amaranthus spp., Chenopodium spp., Digera spp., and Celosia argentia, helping to reduce competition for nutrients and improve crop health and yield peptechbio.com+1. It is absorbed by both leaves and roots, providing control of weeds that germinate after application peptechbio.com.

Mode of Action

The active ingredient, Pyrithiobac Sodium, inhibits the Acetolactate Synthase (ALS) enzyme, which is essential for the synthesis of certain amino acids and proteins in plants. This disruption leads to the death of susceptible weeds while remaining safe for cotton godrejagrovet.com+1. Its selective action ensures that cotton plants are not adversely affected.
