  - Application Description
    
    Plant Biology Applications: Imazapyr is most effective post-emergence to kill broadleaf weeds and grasses less than 10 cm in height (Armel, 2003). ALS inhibiting herbicides account for approximately 17.5% of the global herbicide usage in corn and other agricultural goods (Green, 2008).
