What is Flazasulfuron?
Flazasulfuron (CAS 104040-78-0), also known by the development codes SL-160 and OK-1166 and the trade name Shibagen, is a sulfonylurea herbicide used in selective weed control across crops and non-crop settings.

- Turf management: control of difficult grass species, including annual bluegrass, in amenity and sports turf
- Sugarcane and citrus plantations
- Non-crop and industrial vegetation management: right-of-way and perimeter control
- It inhibits acetolactate synthase (ALS), delivering broad-spectrum control of grasses and broadleaf weeds at low application rates.
