General Description

2,4-Dichloro-5-dimethylsulfamoyl-benzoic acid, also known as Diclosulam, is a selective herbicide used to control broadleaf weeds in various crops and non-crop areas. It is a member of the sulfonylurea herbicide family and works by inhibiting the acetolactate synthase (ALS) enzyme, which is essential for the production of branched chain amino acids in plants. This inhibition disrupts protein synthesis and ultimately leads to the death of the target weeds. Diclosulam is effective in controlling a wide range of problematic weeds while being comparatively safe for use on many crops, making it a valuable tool for weed management in agriculture. However, its use should be carefully managed to minimize any potential environmental and health risks.
