Imazapyr quick-drying non-selective herbicide for crop care

Product description

Imazapyr is a non-selective herbicide used for the control of a broad range of weeds including terrestrial annual and perennial grasses and broadleaved herbs, woody species, and riparian and emergent aquatic species. It is used to eliminate Lithocarpus densiflorus (Tan Oak) and Arbutus menziesii (Pacific Madrone). Additionally, imazapyr is used to control annual and perennial grass and broadleaved weeds, brush, vines and many deciduous trees. Imazapyr is absorbed by the leaves and roots, and moves rapidly through the plant. It accumulates in the meristem region (active growth region) of the plant. In plants, imazapyr disrupts protein synthesis and interferes with cell growth and DNA synthesis. Imazapyr’s mode of action works by inhibiting or stopping the synthesis of certain amino acids produced by plants. These amino acids are crucial for DNA synthesis and growth. Imazapyr is primarily absorbed through plant tissue, but can also be absorbed through roots in the soil. Plants stop growth initially in the roots and this moves up through to the above-ground parts of the plant, with complete death occurring one month, more or less, after treatment, depending on environmental conditions.

Imazapyr is a great alternative to Glyphosate and has a number of advantages over Glyphosate such is a quicker drying time. Manufacturers claim it is rainfast within 1 hour. This leads to a higher uptake of Imazapyr into the plant vs. Glyphosate. Imazapyr also remains active where applied until it is absorbed by the plant. Imazapyr also has lower spray volumes then Glyphosate allowing more area to be treated.

Use Imazapyr as either a pre-emergent of post-emergent control of broadleaf weeds, but preferable as a post-emergent as it is most effective when weeds have sprouted. It is also great to use to treat aquatic weeds on a water body such as a pond.

Registered for use on corn, grass, and a variety of commercial and residential use sites.
