Abstract
Asulam (methyl 4-aminobenzenesulfonyl carbamate) is a broadspectrum systemic herbicide active against broadleaf weeds such as dock (Rumex sp.) and bracken fern (Pteridium aquilinum) (SOPER et al., 1948; HOLROYD et al., 1970). These weeds are pests in pasture lands and reforestation areas, respectively. Asulam is registered throughout the world, as Asulox(R) herbicide for use in pastures and other non-crop uses and in the Caribbean for control of johnsongrass (Sorghum halepense) in sugarcane (TUCKETT and BALL, 1968). It is currently under experimentation in the United States for these same purposes.
