Biochemistry Protoporphyrinogen oxidase inhibitor. Mode of action Absorbed through the roots and shoots. Weakly xylem or phloem mobile, hence has limited post-emergence activity. However, it improves the efficacy of other post-emergence herbicides, such as glyphosate, and increases the speed of action of contact herbicides. Uses Intended for use as a pre-emergence, and, in mixture, post-emergence, herbicide in citrus, grapes, olives, sugar cane and other perennial crops; active on both annual and perennial weeds, and applied at 240 g/ha. Formulation types WG. Products 'Evolus' * (Europe) (DuPont); 'Milestone' * (USA) (DuPont) . Details PM12, Entry 43.
