Due to the fact that it is highly effective and selective, it is one of the most commonly used herbicides.It is classified as an imidazolinone herbicide Imazaquin inhibits the acetohydroxy acid synthase (AHAS) enzyme which is responsible for the synthesis of the branched chain amino acids valine, leucine, and isoleucine.
