Description
Mode of action
- ALS (Acetolactate Synthase) inhibitors: Disrupt the synthesis of essential amino acids (valine, leucine, and isoleucine), leading to cell division arrest and weed death.
- Systemic action: Rapid absorption through foliage and roots, translocated throughout the plant for effective and prolonged control.
Benefits
- Broad-spectrum control of broadleaf and grassy weeds.
- High selectivity ensures crop safety with minimal phytotoxicity.
- Long residual activity reduces weed competition for an extended period.
- Low application rates provide cost-effective weed management.
- Compatible with integrated weed management (IWM) strategies
