Bensulfuron-methyl (Ref: DPX F5384) |
Last updated: 31/10/2024 |
(Also known as: methyl bensulfuron; DPX 84; F 5384) |
SUMMARY |
Bensulfuron-methyl is a herbicide used to control various weeds and sedges. It is moderately soluble in water, non-volatile and moderately mobile. It would not be expected to persistent in soil but could be persistent in water systems under certain conditions. It is not highly toxic to mammals. It also shows a low toxicity to birds and earthworms but is more of a concern to aquatic plants, algae and honeybees |
