General Information
Pursuit is a selective herbicide with post-emergence contact and systemic action. It is used to control a wide range of grasses and broadleaf weeds in soybeans, groundnuts, black gram, green gram, and red gram.
Active Ingredient
Imazethapyr 10% SL
Mode of Action
Pursuit acts by inhibiting the acetolactate synthase (ALS) enzyme in plants. This enzyme is essential for the production of branched-chain amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. By inhibiting ALS, Pursuit prevents plants from producing the proteins they need to survive.
Application
Pursuit can be applied to crops using a variety of methods, including foliar spraying, soil application, and seed treatment. The specific application method and dosage will vary depending on the crop and the target weed.
