Prosulfocarb is a preëmergent herbicide used agriculturally in Australia, the EU, Japan, New Zealand, (since 2020), Morocco and Iran, for control of annual ryegrass and toad rush in wheat and barley crops. It was introduced to the EU in 1988 and is rapidly growing in use, with sales increasing by over 500% in France since 2008.

Prosulfocarb is a preëmergent herbicide used agriculturally in Australia, the EU, Japan, New Zealand, (since 2020), Morocco and Iran, for control of annual ryegrass and toad rush in wheat and barley crops. It was introduced to the EU in 1988 and is rapidly growing in use, with sales increasing by over 500% in France since 2008.
Prosulfocarb is a thiocarbamate, and is absorbed by the roots of germinating seedlings to inhibit growth in the meristem by inhibiting fat synthesis, of resistance HRAC Group J, (Aus), Group N, (WSSA), Group 8. (8 merged into Group 15) (numeric) Applying prosulfocarb repeatedly builds weed resistance but undoes trifluralin (Group 3) resistance, as they have opposing mechanisms: prosulfocarb is resisted by decreasing pesticide metabolism; trifluralin is resisted by increasing metabolism.
