Detailed Product Description

Biochemistry

Photosynthetic electron transport inhibitor at the photosystem II receptor site. 

Mode of action

Selective systemic herbicide, absorbed through the leaves, with translocation primarily in the apoplast.  Uses Used post-emergence to control broad-leaved weeds, including Amaranthus retroflexus, in beet crops, in particular sugar beet. Usually sprayed in combination with phenmedipham and ethofumesate. Desmedipham acts through the leaves only, and does not depend on soil type and humidity under normal growing conditions. Due to its wide safety margin to the crop, spraying is merely timed according to the development stage of the weeds, with optimum weed control when they are at the cotyledon stage.

Phytotoxicity Non-phytotoxic to beet crops. 

Formulation types EC; SC.
