Description:
Imazethapyr is an branched chain amino acid synthesis (ALS OR AHAS) inhibitor. Hence reduces levels of valine, leucine and isoleucine, leading to disruption of proteins and DNA synthesis. selectively in soya beans and peanuts is attributed to rapid detoxification via hydroxylation and glycosylation.it is systemic herbicides, absorbed by the roots and foliage, with translocation in the xylem and phloem, and accumulation in the meristematic regions.
Chemical Name:(±)-2-[4,5-dihydro-4-methyl-4-(1-methylethyl)-5-oxo-1H-imidazol-2-yl]-5-ethyl-3-pyridinecarboxylic acid
IMDG:Class 9 [NOT CLASSIFIED AS DANGEROUS GOOD]
CAS Registry No.:[81335-77-5]UN No.: 3077
Specifications::
Imazethapyr content, percent by mass (Min.): 97.00
Appearance: white to tan powde
Melting point: 169-173ºC
Formulations: IMAZETHAPYR 10% SL
Compatibility:Compatible with most herbicides.
Toxicity:WHO (a.i.) U, Unlikely to present acute hazard.
Environmental toxicity:In animals 95% get excreted in urine and faeces within 48 hours. In non-susceptible plants it gets rapidly metabolized. The primary metabolic route in all crops tested is oxidative hydroxylation at α-carbon atom of the ethyl substituent on the pyridine ring. It is moderately toxic for fish. It is slightly toxic for birds. It is toxic to bees.
Shelf Life:: Two years under normal storage conditions.
