Mechanism of action

Terbuthylazine destroys chloroplasts and suppresses photosynthesis. As a result, respiration is halted and the energy balance is disrupted, which impairs the weed's overall vital activity and leads to its death. In soil application it is absorbed by the roots. The characteristic symptoms of terbuthylazine's action are yellowing of the vegetative mass followed by dieback (necrosis).

S-metolachlor is distinguished by high herbicidal activity against annual grass and some broadleaf weeds. S-metolachlor acts on germinating weeds. The product's active ingredient penetrates mainly into the shoot tissues. It actively inhibits cell development and division by disrupting lipid metabolism. As a result of S-metolachlor's action, weed seedlings stop growing and die.
