Recommended Dosage Table

Mode of Action

Imazethapyr 10% SL acts as a systemic herbicide. It is absorbed through foliage and roots of weeds and translocated to meristematic tissues, inhibiting acetolactate synthase (ALS) enzyme activity. This interruption halts amino acid synthesis, ultimately stopping weed growth and leading to their complete death.

Target Weeds

• Annual and perennial grasses
• Sedges
• Broadleaf weeds commonly found in soybean and groundnut fields
