Systemic, ALS-inhibiting mode of action

Halosulfuron methyl is a sulfonylurea herbicide that inhibits the acetolactate synthase (ALS) enzyme, which is required for the biosynthesis of branched-chain amino acids in plants. It is particularly active against sedges such as Cyperus rotundus, where it disrupts growth and eventually leads to plant death. Halosulfuron methyl is classified under HRAC/WSSA Group 2 (ALS inhibitors).

Haloron (Halosulfuron Methyl 75% WG) is mixed with the recommended volume of water and applied as a uniform spray in sugarcane, using standard knapsack or boom sprayers, following the timing recommended on the approved product label.

Use strictly as per the directions on the approved product label
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment during mixing and spraying
Avoid spray drift onto sensitive or non-target crops
Keep out of reach of children and away from food, feed, and water sources
