Mode of action
Ethofumesate impairs mitosis in weed cells. It penetrates plants predominantly via their root systems and then translates through the stalk to their leaves. It inhibits the Hill reaction during photosynthesis. The action is function of soil humidity and organic contents in soil. Adequate soil humidity and low organic content are positive factors.
Protective period
Until the next wave of weeds, which is dependent on weather conditions in the year of application. The preparation affects weeds present in the plantings during spraying.
