Source-derived summary

Cloransulam-methyl is an herbicide that is used for the control of weeds among soya beans and other crops. It is part of the chemical family of triazolopyrimidine sulfonanilides.

Characteristics

Cloransulam-methyl is non-volatile chemical with moderate solubility in water. The chemical quickly decays via photolysis when in water. In its natural state, it appears as an off white powder with a faint mint smell.

Cloransulam-methyl's HRAC classification is Group B (global, Aus), Group 2 (numeric), as it is an acetohydroxyacid synthase inhibitor.

Uses

Cloransulam-methyl can be applied to the surface of the soil near soybean plants to control the growth of broadleaf weeds. The chemical works by inhibiting amino acid synthesis in the plants.

Editorial summary

The public source identifies “Cloransulam-methyl” as chemical compound. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Cloransulam-methyl, chemical and compound.

Editorial reviewUseful for establishing the present vocabulary of the subject while preserving a route back to the evidence on which that vocabulary rests. The current 113-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Cloransulam-methyl, chemical and compound providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Cloransulam-methyl”, the useful work is to connect “chemical compound” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

Stable identifiers, scientific names and standards terminology offer the best bridge between this overview and specialist evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 8, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q27106188. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.

Critical limits

Scientific names, classifications and consensus can change while older terminology persists in catalogues and historical literature. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
