Halosulfuron is a systemic sulfonylurea herbicide used for selective post-emergence control of broadleaf weeds and sedges in various crops, including maize, sugarcane, rice, sorghum, nuts, and turf. It functions as an acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitor, disrupting the biosynthesis of essential amino acids, thereby inhibiting cell division and plant growth. Other identifiers are UNII-8WU8U5S0UR and KEGG-C18442

It is widely used as a selective herbicide for controlling broad-leaved weeds and sedges in crops such as maize, sugarcane, rice, and turfgrass.
It functions as an acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS) inhibitor, disrupting amino acid biosynthesis in target weeds and leading to growth inhibition.
Crops that benefit the most include maize, sugarcane, rice, sorghum, and turfgrass, where broadleaf weed suppression is required.
The highest demand is observed in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, where it is extensively used in agriculture and turf management.
It is regulated under FAO/WHO pesticide guidelines and subject to import/export controls in countries with strict pesticide registration requirements.
Personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, masks, and protective clothing should be used. Avoid inhalation and prolonged skin exposure.
