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.

Where is Flazasulfuron used?

• Viticulture and orchards: season-long weed suppression between rows
• 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.

Good to know: Residual soil activity extends the weed-free window between applications. Technical grade typically has a purity of 95% or above.
