Recent Advances in Sulfonylurea Herbicides

  • Chapter
Herbicides Inhibiting Branched-Chain Amino Acid Biosynthesis

Part of the book series: Chemistry of Plant Protection ((PLANT PROTECTIO,volume 10))

Abstract

The sulfonylurea herbicides were discovered in 1975 and immediately set a new standard for chemical weed control. The subsequent worldwide development effort has led to the commercialization of 18 different active ingredients in over a dozen major crops, and additional development candidates have been announced. Some of the reasons for the rapid commercial acceptance of sulfonylurea herbicides include their exceptionally low application rates (often a factor of 10–100 times lower than conventional herbicides), favorable environmental and toxicological properties, and compatibility with the trend towards postemergence weed control.
