Dalapon is a selective herbicide used to control perennial grasses. The major use of dalapon is on food crops including sugarcane and sugar beets. Its use is no longer authorized in France. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health in the
ADP-Glucose (ADPG) is an immediate precursor used in the biosynthesis, by glucose addition, of storage polysaccharides in plants, green algae, and cyanobacteria, as well as structural polysaccharides in certain bacteria.[1],[2] It is used by amylose synthases or starch synthases in plastids in the production of amylose, amylopectins, starch, and other polysaccharides. ADPG is normally generated within plastids, although it can be biosynthesized in the cytoplasm of certain grasses and imported into plastids by a membrane-bound transporter.[3]
Clodinafop-propargyl, a prominent member of aryloxyphenoxy-propionate herbicides, is employed for postemergence management of annual grasses in cereals, such as Avena, Lolium, Setaria, Phalaris, and Alopecurus spp.
Rimsulfuron (DPX-E9636) is a sulfonylurea herbicide specifically designed for postemergence application in maize crops. This compound effectively targets and manages grasses as well as certain types of broadleaf weeds.
