Application |
| |
|
Alachlor is a selective systemic herbicide,
absorbed principally by germinating shoots, but also by the roots,
with translocation throughout the plant, and accumulation mainly
in vegetative parts rather than in reproductive parts.
Used pre-emergence at 1.68-4.48 kg/ha to control annual grasses
and many broad-leaved weeds in cotton, brassicas, maize, oilseed
rape, peanuts, radish, soya beans and sugar cane.
