NELSON 25 EC
Nicosulfuron is a N-sulfonylurea that is 2-(carbamoylsulfamoyl)-N,N-dimethylpyridine-3-carboxamide substituted by a 4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yl group at the amino nitrogen. It has a role as an environmental contaminant, a xenobiotic and a herbicide. It is a member of pyridines, a N-sulfonylurea and a member of pyrimidines. Sulfonyl herbicide registered for early-postemergent and postemergent use on corn Nicosulfuron is the ISO name of a selective herbicide from the group of sulfonylureas. It is used in the cultivation of maize, for the control of annual grass crops. Nicosulfuron is a systemic post-emergence herbicide. It is absorbed through the leaves and roots and transported throughout the plant. It inhibits the action of the plant enzyme acetolactate synthase (ALS). As a result, the production of certain amino acids that are necessary for cell division is blocked and the weed plant gradually dies. The ALS enzyme is not found in humans, fish or livestock for control of a range of broad-leaved weeds and certain grasses in forage maize.
