Imazamox Active Herbicide: Broad-Spectrum Weed Control
Imazamox active herbicide is relied on by farmers around the world for post-emergence broad-spectrum grass and broadleaf weed control. It is part of the Clearfield® and Clearfield Plus® Production Systems, which combine high-yielding seeds with broad-spectrum, selective herbicides. Imazamox works as an ALS-inhibiting herbicide and is sold as Raptor® herbicide or Clearcast® herbicide. Imazamox also can be used on conventional crops to deliver efficient, comprehensive weed control and crop protection.

Mode of Action
Imazamox is an imidazolinone, which is readily absorbed by the roots or shoots of weeds. As it moves through the weed, it works by inhibiting the enzyme acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS or ALS). This inhibition disrupts protein synthesis and subsequently causes the cell to starve from lack of proteins necessary for growth. Strong leaf activity and weak soil activity are provided by imazamox, ensuring knockdown as well as added residual activity.
