- Trisulfuron-methyl herbicide, also known by the trade name “Safari”, is one of the most selective and effective systemic herbicides of the sulfonylurea group, which is used to control a wide range of broadleaf weeds and grasses, especially in sugar beet, rice and other sensitive agricultural crops.
- This herbicide is systemic and after absorption through the leaves and roots, it is transported throughout the plant by the xylem and phloem and is activated in all organs of the weed plant. Due to its systemic properties, weed control is carried out comprehensively and effectively and the growth and spread of weeds is prevented.
- Trisulfuron-methyl works by inhibiting the enzyme acetolactate synthase (ALS or AHAS), which plays a vital role in the synthesis of the branched-chain amino acids valine, leucine, and isoleucine. This enzyme inhibition leads to the cessation of protein synthesis in weed cells, disrupting cell division and plant growth. Symptoms of the poison’s effect are usually observed 5 to 10 days after spraying with yellowing and spotting in young organs and meristems, which ultimately leads to wilting and death of the plant.
- This herbicide is used to control annual and perennial broadleaf weeds in sugar beet fields to increase the growth of the main crops by eliminating vegetative competition in the field. After being absorbed from the leaves and roots, this toxin is distributed throughout the plant by the xylem and phloem, killing it.
