• MODE OF ACTION

  Once it is in the plant it is translocated to the meristematic tissue.
  There it inhibits the activity of EPSP synthase, preventing the production of amino acids phenylalanine, tyrosine & tryptophan, causing the plants to starve to death. Symptoms under cold conditions can take up to 10 days to appear. This activity only occurs in plants.

• ADDITIONAL INFO

  Plants should have sufficient leaf area for uptake, be actively growing, free of stress and with clean foliage at the time of spraying. The addition of Accelerate penetrant is particularly important on plants that have a waxy cuticle, such as ryegrass and brushweeds like gorse, broom, bracken and sweet briar. Reduced results may occur if dirty water, hard water containing calcium salts or water containing metal ions is used. If hard water cannot be avoided, the addition of a recommended surfactant is advised.
