Mode of Action

GROUP 14 HERBICIDE

Nonanoic Acid is a naturally-occurring saturated fatty acid. It works by stripping the waxy cuticle of the weeds, causing cell disruption, cell leakage, and death by desiccation. Nonanoic Acid has fast action weed control properties with visible effects from application occurring within hours of treatment.

Oxyfluorfen targets a specific enzyme, protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO), in the chlorophyll pathway. Inhibiting PPO in plants leads to an accumulation of phototoxic chlorophyll precursors which, in the presence of light, rapidly disrupt cell membrane integrity.
