Asulam is a herbicide invented by May & Baker Ltd, part of the Rhône-Poulenc Group, and internally called M&B9057^[1] and used in horticulture and agriculture. It is used to kill bracken^[2]^[3] and docks^[4] also used as an antiviral agent. It is currently marketed, by United Phosphorus Ltd - UPL, as "Asulox" which contains 400 g/L of asulam sodium salt.
