Mode of action
Flumetsulam and florasulam have a systemic effect. They are mainly absorbed by leaves of weeds and quickly move to stems and roots, where they accumulate in growth points and exert an herbicidal effect.
At the biochemical level, the mechanism of action is to block the acetolactate synthase (ALS) enzyme, which is involved in the biosynthesis of essential amino acids in the meristematic tissues of weeds. This causes a halt in protein synthesis and cell division, resulting in weed death.
Pinta, OD, herbicide has been developed in the innovative oil formulation (oil dispersion). It ensures the best herbicidal properties of the active substances, high efficacy in a variety of weather and climatic conditions and penetration even through the waxy layer and pubescence on weed leaves.
Protective effect period
The product shows the best herbicidal effect after the immediate treatment of plants. Moreover, it has a short-term (2-3 weeks) effect in the soil against new sprouts of some weeds, as the product is adsorbed by roots.
Weeds are eliminated 2-3 weeks after treatment, depending on the species and development phase of the weeds, as well as weather conditions, and crop protection is ensured until harvesting.
Rate of exposure
Active growth of weeds is halted within 24 hours after treatment. Under favourable conditions, visible signs of damage appear within 1-2 days after treatment. Complete elimination is achieved within 2-3 weeks after treatment.
