Rimsulfuron, with the chemical formula C14H17N5O7S2, is an important sulfonylurea herbicide that has been widely used in agriculture worldwide since its successful development by DuPont in the mid-1980s. With its high selectivity, efficiency, and low toxicity, it has become an important choice for weed control in corn fields, and has also shown broad application prospects in other crops and fields.
Mainly used in the agricultural field, as an systemic conductive herbicide, it inhibits the biosynthesis of branched chain amino acids by suppressing acetyl lactate synthase (ALS) in weeds, thereby inhibiting cell division, leading to weed growth arrest, chlorosis, leaf blight, and even death. Its high selectivity and efficiency make it an ideal choice for weeding crops such as corn, potatoes, and tobacco.
Weeding in corn fields
It has significant control effects on annual or perennial gramineous and broad-leaved weeds in corn fields, such as thistle, shepherd's purse, fragrant aconite, wrinkled leaf acid mold, Arabic sorghum, wild oats, hemostatic horsetail, barnyard grass, multi flowered ryegrass, grasshopper, amaranth, pigweed, corn poppy, and bamboo shoots. The recommended dosage is 5-15 grams of active ingredient per hectare, and the best application is during the early 2-5 leaf stage after the emergence of weeds in the 2-4 leaf stage of corn. At this point, it can be rapidly absorbed by the roots and stems of weeds, and transmitted to the meristematic tissue within the plant, thus achieving the best weed control effect.
Application example:
In the Northeast region, farmers often mix it with herbicides such as Atractylodes macrocephala or Thiamethasone (Thiamethasone) to expand the weed killing spectrum and improve the control effect on broad-leaved weeds such as quinoa and Polygonum. The specific formula is: 5 g of 25% sulfuron methyl, 120 ml of 38% atrazine, 60 ml of surfactant, and 30 l of water for spray per mu; Or use 5 g of 25% sulfuron methyl and 0.7 g of 75% thiofenuron methyl plus 60 ml of surfactant per mu to spray 30 liters of water.
Weeding in potato fields
It can also be used for spraying pesticides on weeds during the 2-4 leaf stage after potato sowing, before or after seedling emergence, effectively preventing and controlling weeds such as Atractylodes macrocephala, Chenopodium chinense, Polygonatum sibiricum, Caryophyllum multiflorum, Amaranthus retroflexus, Elsholtzia cocos, Echinochloa crus, Echinochloa crus, Scutellaria baicalensis, Echinochloa crus, Echinochloa crus, Portulaca oleracea, Asparagus fragrans, Thalassia spicata, Abutilon, and Cirsium.
Its systemic transmission allows the medicinal solution to be absorbed by weed roots and stems, and quickly transmitted to the entire plant, achieving a comprehensive weed control effect.
Application example:
When weeding potato fields, use 70~120g of 25% sulfuron ethyl dry suspension agent per mu, and add 30~50kg of water to spray. This formula can effectively prevent and control various weeds in potato fields, and is safe and harmless to potatoes.
Weeding in tobacco fields
In the early stage of flue-cured tobacco clumping (42 days after transplanting), in the 5-9 leaf stage of gramineous grass and in the 5-10 leaf stage of broad-leaved weeds, 15 g/ha of effective ingredient of 25% sulfsulfuron ethyl dry suspension agent is applied to stem and leaf spray treatment, which has good control effect on such weeds as crabgrass, barnyard grass, self-produced wheat, horseradish grass, broken rice sedge, cowweed, lotus bean grass, chenopodium album, amaranth, dayflower, amaranthus communis, amaranthus majus, polygonum hydropiper, polygonum nepalense, shepherd's purse, wild pea, and swainsonis. Selectivity enables it to effectively control weeds in tobacco fields without harming tobacco crops.
Application example:
When weeding tobacco fields, 15 grams of effective ingredients of 25% sulfuron ethyl dry suspension agent should be sprayed spray 30 liters of water per mu. This formula can comprehensively control weeds in tobacco fields, improve tobacco yield and quality.
Weeding in other crop fields
It is also applied in crop fields such as chili and sweet potato fields. Mixing with Quinquefolin or Ketone can improve the ability to eradicate weeds in the Poaceae family, and has good control effects on common broad-leaved weeds such as Aconitum carmichaelii, Amaranthus asiatica, and Portulaca oleracea. Its flexible application and wide weed control spectrum make it the preferred weed control solution for various crop fields.
Application example:
When weeding pepper fields, use 5 g of 25% sulfuron ethyl dry suspension agent plus a proper amount of quinoxaline or enochlor per mu, and add 30 liters of water to spray. This formula can effectively prevent and control grass weeds and broad-leaved weeds in chili fields, improving the yield and quality of chili peppers.

market situation
1. Global market
Sulfonylurea herbicides have become one of the most widely used herbicides worldwide. In 2019, the global market size of sulfonylurea was 2.273 billion US dollars, with an application scale of 11000 tons. The segmented markets for sulfometuron are mainly concentrated in North America (United States) and Europe (Eastern Europe), with the US market accounting for nearly 50% and Eastern Europe accounting for over 20%. The Asian market is mainly concentrated in China, with a global market share of around 8%. Over the past seven years, the global market for sulfometuron has shown an initial increase followed by a decrease, with a compound growth rate of -2.8%. Despite fluctuations in market size, sulfometuron methyl still holds an important position in the global agricultural sector due to its high efficiency, low toxicity, and high selectivity.
2. Chinese market
Since the registration of rimsulfuron as a post emergence herbicide for corn fields in China in 1997, multiple companies have registered and developed it as an active ingredient. The supply of sulfometuron methyl in China is mainly concentrated in enterprises such as Jiangsu Ruidong, Jiangsu Ruibang Agrochemicals, Jiangsu Agricultural Hormones, and Shangyu Xinyinbang, with a total production capacity of nearly 650 tons. After 2017, the export of sulfometuron methyl in China experienced a significant decline, with exports remaining at a level of 150-200 tons from 2018 to 2020. The domestic usage level is around 10 tons, which is relatively stable overall. With the continuous development of agricultural technology and the increasing demand of farmers for efficient and low toxicity pesticides, sulfometuron still has certain application potential in the Chinese market.
adverse reaction
Rimsulfuron is a sulfonylurea herbicide that inhibits cell division and plant growth by suppressing the activity of plant acetyl lactate synthase (ALS) and blocking the synthesis of branched chain amino acids such as valine, leucine, and isoleucine. Its broad-spectrum herbicidal activity makes it widely used for weed control in crops such as corn and tomato fields. However, with the expansion of its scope of use, its potential adverse reactions to non target organisms (including humans, animals, and environmental microorganisms) have gradually received attention.
Rimsulfuron has low acute oral toxicity. The oral median lethal dose (LD50) for rats is>5000 mg/kg, indicating that its oral acute toxicity belongs to the low toxicity category. However, high-dose intake may cause gastrointestinal irritation symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Although the specific mechanism is not yet clear, it may be related to the direct stimulation of gastrointestinal mucosa by drugs or the toxic effects of metabolites.
Skin contact toxicity

Skin contact usually does not cause significant irritation, but long-term or repeated contact may lead to redness and itching of the skin. Animal experiments have shown that rimsuluron is non allergenic to the skin, meaning it does not cause allergic reactions. However, in practical use, operators still need to wear protective gloves and clothing to avoid direct skin contact and reduce potential irritation risks.
Rimsulfuron has moderate irritation to the eyes and may cause conjunctival congestion, tearing, and pain. Animal experiments have shown that after rimsuluron is dropped into the eyes, a significant eye irritation response can be observed, but it usually does not cause permanent damage. However, goggles should be worn during operation to prevent medication from splashing into the eyes.
Inhalation toxicity
Rimsulfuron has low inhalation toxicity, but long-term exposure to high concentrations of dust or aerosols may cause respiratory irritation such as coughing and difficulty breathing. In animal experiments, the median lethal concentration (LC50) of rimsuluron inhaled by rats for 4 hours was>5200 mg/m ³, indicating that its acute inhalation toxicity belongs to the low toxicity category. However, during pesticide formulation and spraying, it is still necessary to operate in a well ventilated environment and wear dust masks to reduce inhalation risks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it "slightly soluble" or "easily soluble" in water? --PH is the 'transformation switch' behind the scenes
+
-
The solubility difference is 730 times, depending on the acidity or alkalinity of the water.
In pure water (or in an unbuffered system), its solubility is less than 10 mg/L, indicating slight solubility; But in water buffered to pH 7, the solubility soared to 7.3 g/L. Cold mechanism: Sulfonylsulfonamide has weak acidity (pKa=4.0) and dissociates into an ionic state under neutral conditions, resulting in a significant increase in hydrophilicity. Therefore, the "solubility" data must indicate pH in order to be meaningful.
Where did its degradation products go? --The significant difference in lifespan between mother and child generations
+
-
The mother disappears within a few weeks, but a metabolite can survive for 55 days.
Research has found that sulfometuron methyl rapidly hydrolyzes in water to metabolite 1 (half-life of 2 days), which is then converted to metabolite 2 (half-life of 2.5 days). Cold logic: Metabolite 2 is more stubborn in soil, with different initial concentrations, and its half-life can fluctuate between 8.1 days and 55 days. This means that after the disappearance of the mother, a relatively stable 'second-generation' metabolite may still wander in the environment.
Why is corn so resistant to all kinds of toxins? --There is a detoxification switch hidden in genes
+
-
The tolerance to sulfometuron may be related to the function of a single P450 gene.
Research has shown that the tolerance of sweet corn to sulfometuron varies by more than 200 times among different genotypes. Cold mechanism: tolerant varieties can rapidly metabolize herbicides through cytochrome P450 enzymes; If a P450 gene is functionally deficient (homozygous recessive), corn will become "instantly sensitive" - this is a hidden "detoxification gene switch" in the corn body.
When dispensing, should water be added first or should medication be added first? --Order determines success or failure
+
-
Directly dissolved in alkaline aqueous solution, the efficacy instantly returns to zero.
Experimental results show that if sulfometuron is first dissolved in alkaline water (such as adding KOH to adjust pH 10 for solubilization), it will undergo almost instantaneous rearrangement and hydrolysis, directly generating degradation end products and losing its herbicidal activity. Uncommon technique: The original drug must be dissolved in an organic solvent (such as acetonitrile) first, and then diluted with a large amount of water - the order is wrong, the drug is useless.
