Mode of Action
- Systemic: The active ingredient is absorbed through leaves and roots, transported throughout the plant, disrupting essential biological processes, and ultimately causing weed death.
- Rapid Action: Treated plants show stress symptoms (yellowing, deformation) within 2–4 days of application.
- Long-Term Efficiency: Full effects are observed within 2–3 weeks, depending on environmental conditions and weed development stage.
Dosage and Application
