Ipfencarbazone is a selective sulfonylurea herbicide primarily used in rice cultivation to control broadleaf weeds and sedges. It is effective against a range of susceptible weeds, including species like Monochoria vaginalis and Cyperus difformis, while having minimal impact on rice plants. Applied pre-emergence or early post-emergence, it inhibits acetolactate synthase (ALS), disrupting weed growth at early stages and preventing competition for nutrients, water, and light. This enhances rice yield, improves field cleanliness, and supports integrated weed management practices. Not typically used in corn or soybean fields.
