GuardForce, a type of selective post-emergence herbicide, is part of the sulfonylurea family. It inhibits the enzyme acetolactate synase (or ALS) in order to control annual grass weeds in maize.

GuardForce is an herbicide for maize and forage maize. GuardForce is a broad-spectrum herbicide that can be used to control a variety of maize weeds. This includes both perennial and annual weeds. GuardForce is an systemic selective herbicide that displays genera-selectivity. This ensures it kills other plants near maize, even closely related grasses. This is due to the maize plants' ability to metabolise sodium sulfuron into harmless compounds. The compound is absorbed through the leaves, and travels through the xylem to reach the meristematic areas. It inhibits the activity acetolactase synase, which is a critical enzyme for cell division and plant growth. The application will cause the post-emergence growth of weeds in a matter of hours, and death within 20 to 25 days. This will make it effective in controlling perennial and annual weeds as well as broad-leaved plants such as Agropyron and Sorghum halepense. It is simple to use, does not require an adjuvant, and doesn't wash into soil. It is safe for birds, fish, bees, and other insects.

Humans, livestock, and fish do not contain enzymes. The ALS enzyme system is inhibited, which means that the production of amino acids, valine, and isoleucine, vital building blocks for proteins, and other plant components, is prevented.

GuardForce can be applied to weeds that are between 4-12 inches high and active growing after they have emerged with a non-ionic surfactant. The effectiveness of GuardForce will not be affected by rain within two hours.

It is used to control weeds like Johnsongrass, quackgrass and foxtails as well as panicums, panicums (barnyardgrass), sandbur, morningglory, pigweed, and other. Field maize is one of the crop options.
