⚙️ Mode of Action
Ethoxysulfuron is absorbed mainly through the leaves and translocated throughout the plant. It inhibits the enzyme acetolactate synthase (ALS), preventing essential amino acid synthesis. Weed growth stops immediately, chlorotic symptoms appear, and complete weed death occurs within 3–4 weeks after application.
