Pallas 45OD: FMC's Premium Systemic Wheat Herbicide
Pallas 45OD (active ingredient Pyroxsulam 4.5% OD) is a state-of-the-art systemic herbicide manufactured and distributed in Pakistan by FMC Corporation. It is widely recognized as one of the most effective solutions for controlling both grassy (narrow-leaf) and broadleaf weeds in wheat (Gandum) crops in a single application.
Mechanism of Action
Pyroxsulam belongs to the triazolopyrimidine sulfonamide chemical class and acts as an ALS (Acetolactate Synthase) inhibitor (HRAC Group 2). By blocking the ALS enzyme, it prevents the synthesis of essential branched-chain amino acids (valine, leucine, and isoleucine) in weeds. This arrests cell division and growth, causing weeds to stop competing with the wheat crop within hours, followed by complete weed death in 2-3 weeks.
Weed Control Profile
Pallas is exceptionally effective against critical wheat weeds in Pakistan, including Dumbi Sitti (Phalaris minor), Jangli Jai (Wild Oats), Bathu, Shahtra, and Maina. The built-in safener ensures excellent crop tolerance, preventing temporary crop stunting or yellowing when applied under recommended conditions.
Application Timing
Apply Pallas post-emergence after the first irrigation when the soil is in 'watar' condition. Ensure weeds are small and actively growing (typically at the 2-4 leaf stage) to achieve maximum chemical absorption.
