Description
Asulam is a sulfonamide and can be formulated as a
sodium salt. It is very water soluble and is a very
systemic herbicide following foliar and root uptake, owing
to its physicochemical properties (Table 1). The Log P
(Kow) of 1.01 and pKa of 4.82 are optimal for phloem
mobility in the plant (4). These properties contribute
to the herbicidal effectiveness against perennial weeds
where translocation to underground meristematic organs
is essential for effective control.
