Mode of action

Selective systemic herbicide, abdorbed principally through the

roots, but also through the foliage, with translocation acropetally

in the xylem and accumulation in the apical merstems and leaves.

Function

Pre- and post-emergence control of annual broad-leaved weeds

and annual grasses in maize, sorghum, sugar cane, pineapples,

chemical fallow, grassland, macadamia nuts, conifers,

industrial weed control. In Europe, use is concentrated in maize

and sorghum at 1.5kg/ha. Used also in combinations with

many other herbicides.
