Mechanism of action
In dry conditions, the product is absorbed by leaves. In wet soil, the product is also absorbed by roots, which strengthens its effect. The product inhibits the acetolactate synthase enzyme driving the synthesis of leucine, isoleucine, and valine amino acids, stops cell division in sprout and root growing points.
Protective effect period
Until the second wave of weeds.
Rate of exposure
In several hours after treatment, the growth of sensitive weeds ceases. Visible signs, such as anthocyanin color, chlorosis, and necrosis, appear only several days after treatment with weed death in 10 to 15 days.
