Biochemistry: Acetyl CoA carboxylase inhibitor; inhibition of fatty acid biosynthesis.

Mode of action: Systemic herbicide, absorbed from the leaf surface, with translocation throughout the plant, moving in both the xylem and phloem, and accumulating in the meristematic tissue.

Uses: Selective post-emergence control of annual and perennial grass weeds in potatoes, soya beans, sugar beet, peanuts, oilseed rape, sunflowers, vegetables, cotton, and flax.

Phytotoxicity: Most non-graminaceous crops are tolerant.

Formulation types: EC; SC.

Compatibility: Can be used in combination with post-emergence broad-leaved herbicides.

 

Mode of action: Systemic herbicide, absorbed from the leaf surface, with translocation throughout the plant, moving in both the xylem and phloem, and accumulating in the meristematic tissue.
