Introduction:Basic information about CAS 173159-57-4|foramsulfuron, including its chemical name, molecular formula, synonyms, physicochemical properties, and safety information, etc.
Foramsulfuron is a postemergence herbicide used for selective control of grass and some broadleaved weeds in maize (Zea mays L.). Foramsulfuron is a sulfonylurea herbicide that exerts its herbicidal activity by inhibiting acetolactate synthase (ALS), a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of branched chain amino acids[1].
