WSSA : 22 & HRAC : D

A quaternary ammonium non-systemic, non-selective, general herbicide and foliage desiccant, acts by contact with translaminar activity that is applied as a foliar spray.

• Provides an efficient post-emergence control of a various range of target weeds via foliar spray in various crops when directed on targeted weeds only.
• It has a unique mode of action ( inhibits photosynthesis by inhibiting (electron transport), this process generates free radicals within the cells of treated weeds, causing chlorosis and death.
• Fast acting as it starts its effect on the treated weeds within a few hours followed by It desiccation and final death of within a few days.
• As it is not absorbed by roots and it is non residual herbicide so it will not stay in water or soil so it is considered safe for non targeted plants in case of contact with soil.
• It can be safely used for desiccating potato foliage to facilitate harvest, for this purpose it is applied approximately two weeks before the anticipated harvest date.
• Since the herbicide acts by contact and it is not systemic , it can be used for post-emergence weed control in vegetable crops as long as the main crop has not yet grown above the soil surface.
• For best results ensure thorough coverage of the target weeds with the spray solution with the spray because the product acts by contact.
  It is not affected by rainfall once the spray solution dries.
  It is preferred to add 25 mL / 100 Liters of water of a nonionic surfactant such as RH-Surfer to the mixing tank to obtain the best results.
