Pyrimisulfan is a selective herbicide used to control a wide range of grassy and broadleaf weeds in crops like rice, wheat, and other cereals. It works by inhibiting the enzyme acetolactate synthase (ALS), which is crucial for the synthesis of essential amino acids in plants, ultimately leading to their death. Pyrimisulfan is effective in preventing the growth of weeds while being safe for the crops it targets when applied properly.
