Mechanism of action
Propisochlor is an herbicide with systemic effect, it is absorbed by shoots and roots destroying weeds within a short period of time. It inhibits the synthesis of proteins and nucleic acids, its active ingredient suppresses the growth of roots. A decrease in osmotic potential leads to the death of weed plants. Propisochlor creates an herbicidal screen in the surface layers of the soil, which allows controlling newly germinating weeds after treatment with an herbicide.
Protective effect period
The product application ensures the purity of seeds for 60–80 days (mainly throughout the growing period).
Rate of expoures
It acts on germinating weeds quickly enough, 3–5 days after spraying.

Compatibility with other pesticides
Effective when used alone. If there is a need to use the product in tank mixtures, the components to be mixed should be checked for physical and chemical compatibility.
