Product Specifications
Mode of Entry: Systemic
Time of Application: Post-emergence
Mode of Action: Weedcel Super Herbicide is absorbed through the leaves and green parts of susceptible weeds and translocated throughout the plant. It acts as a synthetic plant growth regulator, causing abnormal growth and disruption of vital physiological processes. This leads to twisting, curling, and eventual death of targeted weeds.
