Tribenuron

[1] In the final step of its synthesis, 2-methoxycarbonylbenzenesulfonyl isocyanate was condensed with 2-methylamino-4-methoxy-6-methyl-1,3,5-triazine to form the sulfonylurea product.

[9] The estimated use in US agriculture is mapped by the US Geological Service and shows that from 1992 to 2018, up to 120,000 pounds (54,000 kg) were applied each year.

[10] In a clay-water suspension, tribenuron has increased sorption with decreasing pH and even more so with suspended load.

[11] A tribenuron-resistance transformation has been achieved in watermelon and validated by survival of the als mutants but not the controls, under tribenuron treatment.

[12] Two oilseed type sunflower cultivars have been produced by USDA-ARS by conventional breeding.
