Sulcofuron is a selective systemic herbicide used to control broadleaf weeds and grasses in cereal crops, particularly wheat. It operates by inhibiting the enzyme acetolactate synthase (ALS), which is crucial for synthesizing branched-chain amino acids like valine and isoleucine. This inhibition disrupts protein synthesis, leading to stunted growth and plant death. Sulcofuron is typically applied post-emergence and is effective against a wide range of weeds, including goosefoot, polygonum, amaranth, and cleaver .
