Imazapyr is a high-efficiency, broad-spectrum, systemic herbicide belonging to the imidazolinone chemical family.It inhibits the activity of acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS or ALS) in plants, blocking the synthesis of branched-chain amino acids, thereby suppressing weed growth and eventually causing plant death.The product features fast action, long residual effect, low application rate, and excellent environmental stability, making it widely used for weed control in non-crop areas, forestry, industrial zones, roadsides, irrigation channels, and pastures.

Imazapyr effectively controls a wide range of annual and perennial broadleaf weeds, grasses, and woody plants, and is suitable for multiple application scenarios:
Non-crop weed control: Railways, highways, airports, industrial sites, and oil depots
Forestry management: Used for forest regeneration and brush control
Agricultural fields: Weed control in sugarcane, eucalyptus, and pasture lands
Water areas and ditches: Control of aquatic weeds using water-soluble formulations
Mode of action:
Imazapyr is absorbed through plant roots and foliage, then translocated throughout the plant, where it inhibits protein synthesis and stops growth until plant death occurs.
In scientific research, Imazapyr is used as an enzyme inhibition tool compound for studying amino acid metabolism and herbicide resistance in plants.
In environmental toxicology studies, it serves as a model compound for persistent herbicides in soil degradation and migration experiments.
Acute toxicity: Low toxicity to humans and animals (Oral LD₅₀ > 5000 mg/kg)
Environmental impact: Low toxicity to fish and aquatic organisms, but may affect aquatic plants
Degradation: Highly stable in soil, primarily degraded by microbial activity
Protection measures: Wear gloves, goggles, and masks when handling. Avoid inhalation or skin contact.
