- Systemic, ALS-inhibiting mode of action
Chlorimuron ethyl is a sulfonylurea herbicide that inhibits the acetolactate synthase (ALS) enzyme, which is essential for the biosynthesis of the branched-chain amino acids valine, leucine and isoleucine in plants. This inhibition halts cell division and growth, leading to the gradual death of susceptible broad-leaved weeds. Chlorimuron ethyl is classified under HRAC/WSSA Group 2 (ALS inhibitors).
Civic (Chlorimuron Ethyl 25% WP) is mixed with the recommended volume of water and applied as a post-emergence foliar spray in wheat at 25–35 days after sowing, using standard knapsack or boom sprayers, following the approved product label.
