Imazamox is an imidazolinone (IMI) herbicides, inhibition of the biosynthesis of acetohydroxyacid synthase, which would then inhibit plant growth and ultimately lead to plant death.increase the GST (The glutathione-S-transferase) activity.in vivo: Half-life of imazamox in the soil ranges from 1 to 3 months exhibit low mammalian toxicity. [1] plants are treated with imazamox (250 μM) in the nutrient solution and harvested 7 days after. Imazamox is mainly accumulated inV. sativa, six fold higher than those detected in P.vulgaris. [2]
