| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Production Methods]
Imazaquin ammonium is produced by first synthesising the technical-grade imazaquin through the standard multistep heterocyclic route used for imidazolinone herbicides, where the quinoline and imidazolinone fragments are constructed separately and then coupled to yield the active acid. Once the acid meets specification, it is converted into the ammonium salt through controlled neutralisation with aqueous ammonia, creating a water-soluble form well suited to liquid herbicide formulations. | [Mechanism of action]
Selective, systemic absorbed by roots and foliage. Inhibits plant amino acid synthesis - acetohydroxyacid synthase AHAS. | [Pesticide Type]
Herbicide; Plant Growth Regulator |
