Rimsulfuron

Rimsulfuron is a selective sulfonylurea herbicide used to manage weeds in major field-crop programs. In widely referenced label and technical summaries, rimsulfuron is positioned for control of certain grass and broadleaf weeds in potatoes, field corn, and field-grown tomatoes (final claims depend on the destination-country label).

Mode of Action: ALS (AHAS) Inhibition

Rimsulfuron controls susceptible weeds by inhibiting acetolactate synthase (ALS)—also called acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS)—an enzyme required for synthesis of branched-chain amino acids. In practical field terms, susceptible weeds stop growing at the meristems, followed by decline over time. This is why rimsulfuron is commonly discussed as a Group 2 / amino acid synthesis inhibitor in professional weed-management communication.

What this means for your program: because Group 2 herbicides are widely used globally, your positioning should always include rotation and resistance-management discipline (see the Resistance Management section below).

Target Weed Spectrum: What You Can Position on a Product Page

For a product detail page, the strongest approach is to describe weed control by weed groups (rather than overpromising a long list). Supplier and label summaries commonly position rimsulfuron for:

• Annual and perennial grasses
• Selected broadleaf weeds
• Use in maize/corn, and often also in potatoes and tomatoes (label-led)

Commercial note: weed spectrum is label-dependent and region-dependent. If you share your destination market and main problem weeds, you can align the claim language to that registration pathway.

Crop Fit: Field-Crop Focus

Rimsulfuron is widely referenced in official and supplier materials as being used in:

Field Corn (Maize)

Positioning typically focuses on protecting early-season yield potential by keeping fields clean during critical competition windows (label-led weed spectrum and timing).

Potatoes (Including Seed Potatoes)

Rimsulfuron is commonly described as used in potatoes for selective weed control; procurement teams often look for clean label language and predictable selectivity in potato systems.

Field-Grown Tomatoes

Many label summaries include field-grown tomatoes as a use site; in export channels, you should treat tomatoes as a market-specific claim and align to local registration wording.

Why 25% WDG Is a Strong Commercial Format

WDG (water dispersible granule) is a procurement-friendly formulation because it supports stable logistics, easy handling for distributors, and consistent dosing accuracy at the point of use (as directed by the label). A 25% WDG format is also widely recognized in supplier catalogs and in market procurement language for rimsulfuron.

Resistance Management: How to Protect Performance Over Seasons

Because rimsulfuron is a Group 2 ALS inhibitor, the key to long-term performance is program design:

• Rotate with herbicides from different modes of action across seasons
• Use integrated weed management practices (crop rotation, sanitation, and field scouting)
• Follow destination-market label directions and local agronomy guidance for resistance prevention

This is a high-trust section for importers and distributors because it signals that you sell the product with long-term stewardship in mind—not just short-term volume.

Quality Control and Documentation You Receive

For importers, distributors, and brand owners, rimsulfuron purchasing decisions are typically driven by spec clarity + documentation readiness. You can request:

• COA (batch confirmation)
• SDS/MSDS
• TDS (technical data sheet)
• Packaging specs and label-ready information support for your destination market

FAQ

What is rimsulfuron herbicide used for?

Rimsulfuron is a selective sulfonylurea herbicide commonly positioned for control of certain grass and broadleaf weeds in field corn, potatoes, and field-grown tomatoes (label-led by country).

What is the mode of action of rimsulfuron?

It is an ALS/AHAS inhibitor (Group 2)—an amino acid synthesis inhibitor.

Is rimsulfuron used outside field crops?

Yes. Market materials include rimsulfuron products positioned for turf programs and certain non-crop areas. For this page, we keep the focus on field crops; turf programs are typically handled as a separate label and positioning strategy.

What does WDG mean?

WDG means water dispersible granule, a solid formulation designed to disperse in water for application as directed by the local label.

Do you provide COA/SDS/TDS for importer onboarding?

Yes—these documents can be provided as part of a quote-ready specification pack.
