Product Specifications

Mode of Entry: Soil-active systemic herbicide

Time of Application: Pre-emergence (Within 4-5 days of transplanting).

Mode of Action: Pretilachlor is absorbed by germinating weed seedlings through their shoots and roots with trans-location throughout the plant. It inhibits cell division and growth processes, preventing weeds from establishing successfully. When applied shortly after transplanting, Craze forms a protective herbicidal layer in the soil that prevents weed emergence.
