Mode of action
Argo Prime, ME, is a systemic herbicide. It is effective against a wide range of annual grass weeds because of a good synergism of active ingredients. Fenoxaprop-P-ethyl and clodinafop-propargyl are quickly absorbed by leaves and move in the basipetal and acropetal directions to various plant organs. Fenoxaprop-P-ethyl is a fatty acid synthesis inhibitor. Clodinafop-propargyl inhibits lipid biosynthesis. The synthesis of cell membranes stops in growth zones of grass weeds. Cloquintocet-mexyl is an antidote that completely prevents the phytotoxic effect on crops.
The innovative NANOformulation, microemulsion, ensures the best possible effect of active ingredients. In comparison to analogues, nanoparticles of the active substance (less than 100 nm) ensure faster penetration of the product into plant tissues via microcapillaries and immediate effect. This feature ensures that the herbicide remains effective even in adverse weather conditions: Argo Prime, ME, is highly resistant to rain and works well even in hot, dry conditions.
Protective effect period
Throughout the growth period. The product is effective against the weeds present in the crops at the time of treatment for 3-4 weeks. Thus, the second wave of weeds cannot seriously compete with the crop.
Rate of exposure
The herbicide is absorbed for 1-3 hours after application; active growth ceases within 24 hours, and complete elimination of grass weeds is achieved in 1.5-2 weeks.
Spectrum of action
Annual grass weeds, such as wild oat (species), wind grass, black foxtail, annual meadow grass, bristle grass (species), barnyard grass, common millet, witchgrass, large crabgrass, etc.
