ABSTRACT
Imazamethabenz-methyl controls many of the economically important weeds which infest wheat, barley, and rye, such as Avena spp., Apera spica-venti, Poa trivialis, Raphanus raphanistrum, and Brassica spp. Imazamethabenz-methyl is readily absorbed through the foliage and roots of sensitive weeds and is slowly translocated to the meristematic regions, where the herbicidally active acid accumulates. Imazamethabenz-methyl herbicide provides excellent control or suppression of many economically important weeds which infest wheat, barley, and rye. The susceptibility of grass and broadleaved weed to post emergence application of imazamethabenz-methyl at local recommended dosage. In Canada, imazamethabenz-methyl is used either alone or in tank mixtures with other herbicides to control Avena fatua and broadleaved weeds in spring wheat and spring barley. Imazamethabenz-methyl is primarily used in the northern areas of the United States, along the western coastal states, and in several Rocky Mountain States. Imazamethabenz-methyl is applied postemergence in wheat and barley in the autumn, spring, or early summer.
