Propoxycarbazone sodium is an active ingredient in crop protection and belongs to the class of sulfonylurea herbicides . It is a colorless crystalline powder.
history
Propoxycarbazone Sodium was developed by Bayer CropScience and introduced in 2000.
effect
Propoxycarbazone Sodium is a systemic herbicide . It is absorbed via the roots and leaves and transported further in the plant. The active ingredient acts as an ALS inhibitor . The biosynthesis of the amino acids , L-leucine, L-isoleucine and L-valine , i.e. some essential amino acids , is inhibited . This inhibits cell division , so that growth comes to a standstill. Ultimately, the plants fade and necrosis forms , which is why the weeds die. The moisture and sorption capacity of the soil have a major influence on the effectiveness .
use
It is mainly used against broad-leaved weeds and grass weeds in cereal crops.
Environmental aspects
Propoxycarbazone-sodium is not bee-toxic, but chronic aquatic environment . The degradation takes place with a half-life of 9 to 36 days.
proof
Residues can be determined in plants and soils using the HPLC method . A UV detector is required for this.
Admission status
In Germany and the EU , plant protection products containing this active ingredient are approved .
