Category: Herbicides

Active ingredient:

S-metolachlor, 960 g/l

Formulation:

emulsifiable concentrate

Packing:

5 L

The herbicide inhibits the process of cell division, leading to the cessation of growth and development of weeds sensitive to the product. In grass weeds, the active ingredient penetrates through the coleoptile (the first emerging leaf), causing the seedling to twist and eventually die.
