Tribenuron-methyl is widely used as a selective herbicide in agriculture, primarily for controlling broadleaf weeds in cereal crops such as wheat, barley, and oats. It effectively targets weeds like mustard, chickweed, and wild radish without harming the main crop. Its mode of action involves inhibiting the enzyme acetolactate synthase (ALS), which is essential for weed growth, leading to their eventual death. Farmers often apply it during the early stages of crop growth to ensure maximum efficacy. Additionally, it is valued for its low application rates and minimal impact on the environment, making it a preferred choice in integrated weed management systems.
