Shandong Cynda Chemical Co., Ltd has recently received registration for its 2% Iodosulfuron-methyl-sodium SC from Institute for the Control of Agrochemicals, Ministry of Agriculture (ICAMA). As per Chinese registration watch, Shandong Cynda Chemical Co., Ltd is the first Chinese company approved for 2% Iodosulfuron-methyl-sodium SC in corn. This formulation is mainly used in corn for annual broad-leaved weeds and sedge family grass.
 
Previously, Iodosulfuron-methyl-sodium is mainly used for post-emergence control of grass and broad-leaved weeds, including Galium aparine, Lolium spp in winter, spring and durum wheat, triticale, rye and spring barley.
 
Iodosulfuron-methyl-sodium is a selective herbicide with activity of inhibiting branched chain amino acid synthesis. It blocked biosynthesis of the essential amino acids valine and isoleucine, hence stopping cell division and plant growth.
