Mechanism of action
The preparation impairs photosynthesis and protein metabolism in weeds. Phenmedipham and desmediphan penetrate through leaves and have a translaminar effect, thereby preventing photosynthesis. Ethofumesate penetrates roots and leaves and has a systemic effect impairing mitosis in cells of weeds.
Protective period
Until 2nd wave of weeds.
Speed of action
Weeds stop growing during the first day after treatment. Visible signs of herbicide effect on weeds appear in 3 or 4 days after treatment.
Spectrum of action
Annual bilobate and some cereal weeds.
Sensitive species: ragweed, speedwell (species), pepper plant (species), charlock, knotweed, sheep bur, common fumitory, bur grass (species), satin, spring groundsel, common orach, pigweed (species), rough-stalked bluegrass, field scorpion grass, houndsberry, caseweed, hemp nettle (species), catch weed, wild radish, bladder campion, sandweed, field pansy, amaranth (species), dish mustard, day-nettle.
Moderately sensitive species: bluebottle, vetch, Aleppo grass, tansy mustard, velvetleaf, copper rose, loose silky bent, oat grass, green ginger, millet (species), crabgrass, foxtail (species).
Feebly sensitive species: Canadian thistle, sheepbine, foxtail, sow thistle (species), dandelion (species), ryegrass (species), field chamomile, quack grass, mayweed, quitch.
Compatibility
Use as part of prepared mixes to enhance the spectrum of action. Compatible with a wide number of herbicides, such as Furex, Lornet, Pantera, Healer, Forward, Mitron and others used on beet plantings. Before use, check for physical and chemical compatibility.
Potential for resistance
No potential for resistance is revealed.
