Overview
Bensulfuron-methyl is the methyl ester of bensulfuron. An acetolactate synthase inhibitor, it is used as a herbicide for the control of a variety of both annual and perennial weeds in crops, particularly wheat and rice. It is not licensed for use within the UK. It has a role as an EC 2.2.1.6 (acetolactate synthase) inhibitor, a herbicide and an agrochemical. It is a methyl ester, an aromatic ether, a member of pyrimidines and a N-sulfonylurea. It is functionally related to a bensulfuron.

Uses & manufacturing
Applications
DescriptionBensulfuron-methyl (BSM) is a new kind of sulfonylurea herbicide widely used to control various weeds and sedges. It is moderately soluble in water, non-volatile and moderately mobile. It would not be expected to persistent in soil but could be persistent in water systems under certain conditions. It is not highly toxic to mammals. It also shows a low toxicity to birds and earthworms but is more of a concern to aquatic plants, algae and honeybees.
UsesBensulfuron methyl (BSM) was the first sulfonylurea herbicide commercialized for use in rice, and it remains the dominant sulfonylurea for broadleaf and sedge weed control in this crop.
