The sulfonylurea herbicides are a relatively new group of compounds which control broad‐leaved weeds and some grasses in cereal crops. This literature review emphasises work reported on chlorsulfuron and met‐sulfuron‐methyl. The activity of the herbicides, their fate in soil and in plants, and their mode of action are discussed. In addition some of the methods of assaying these compounds are described.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
