Imazapic is a chemical used as an herbicide. It controls many broad leaf weeds and controls or suppresses some grasses in pasture, rangeland and certain types of turf. It has a half-life of around 120 days in soil. [1] [2] Imazapic is considered an environmental hazard due to its harmful effects on aquatic life. [3]

Imazapic's HRAC classification is Group B (global, Aus), Group 2 (numeric), as it inhibits acetohydroxyacid synthase. [4]
