Mode of Action

• Mode of Entry: Absorbed rapidly through the active green leaves and stems of weeds with systemic translocation via xylem and phloem directly to active growing meristems.
• Mode of Action: 4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvate Dioxygenase (HPPD) Inhibitor (HRAC Group 27 / F2). It blocks the HPPD enzyme, preventing the biosynthesis of plastoquinone and carotenoid pigments. This results in the destruction of chlorophyll by sunlight, leading to characteristic weed leaf bleaching (complete whitening), followed by rapid necrosis and weed mortality within 7 to 10 days.
