Mode of Action:
-Acetochlor: Inhibits very long-chain fatty acid synthesis (VLCFA)
-Prometryn: Photosystem II inhibitor (triazine group)
-Dual mechanism prevents resistance development
Benefits:
-Broad-spectrum control of grasses and broadleaves
-Extended residual activity (6-10 weeks)
-Rainfast within 6 hours after application
-Synergistic effect enhances weed control spectrum
Precautions:
-PPE: Coveralls, nitrile gloves, face shield
-Do not apply when rain is expected within 6 hours
-Maintain 10m buffer zone from water bodies
-Storage: Keep in original container at 5-35°C
Environmental Hazards:
-Highly toxic to aquatic organisms
-Groundwater contaminant potential (acetochlor)
-Moderate persistence (DT50: 30-60 days)
-Avoid drift to non-target vegetation
