Triasulfuron
    醚苯磺隆
Introduction: Triasulfuron is a selective sulfonylurea herbicide, which is absorbed by the leaves and the roots and is distributed through the plant to the meristems. It inhibits the biosynthesis of essential branched-chain amino acids valine and isoleucine, which prevents cell division and the plant growth is stopped. It is used as a herbicide in the cultivation of cereals (wheat, barley and triticale ) and can be applied before or after the emergence of the weeds.

ENVIRONMENTAL FATE
Animals Mainly excreted in the urine in unchanged form. Plants In wheat, metabolism is by hydroxylation (para to the sulfonyl urea bridge), followed by conjugation of various hydroxy metabolites with glucose. DT50 in forage c. 3 days. In straw and grain, no residues were detectable at harvest time. Soil/Environment The degradation behaviour in soil is determined by the soil type, pH, and especially temperature and moisture content. Field studies with silty loam, clay loam and sandy loam showed a median DT50 19 d, depending on soil type.
Usage: Triasulfuron was introduced by Ciba-Geigy AG (now Syngenta AG). It is a herbicide for annual broad-leaved weed control in cereals and for other weed clearing activities.
Application: Biochemistry Branched chain amino acid synthesis (ALS or AHAS) inhibitor. Acts by inhibiting biosynthesis of the essential amino acids valine and isoleucine, hence stopping cell division and plant growth. Selectivity derives from rapid metabolism in the crop. Metabolic basis of selectivity in sulfonylureas reviewed. Mode of action Selective herbicide, absorbed by the leaves and roots, and rapidly translocated to meristems. Uses Control of broad-leaved weeds pre- and post-emergence in wheat, barley and triticale, at 5-10 g/ha.
