WHEN TO APPLY:
Only directed spray on weeds which are actively growing at stage of 4-6 inches high.
Ensure proper spray of Agrow Super coverage with sufficient spray volume on the weeds.
MODE OF ACTION:
Inhibition of the enzyme glutamine synthetase. Glutamine synthetase is the enzyme which catalyses the reaction of NH, and glutamic acid to form glutamine.Ammonia results from nitrate reduction, amino acid metabolism and photorespiration. Glufosinate-ammonium inhibits the activity of Glutamine synthetase.This leads to the accumulation of NH, in the cell. As NH, is strongly phytotoxic, the affected cells die. This is macroscopically manifested in necrotic spots and finally withering of plant.Wilting of exposed weeds may start within 24 hours in the tropics or only after 8 days in cool continental spring or autumn temperatures.
