Mode of Action

GROUP A HERBICIDE

ProForce Destro 375 Herbicide is a selective systemic herbicide, which is absorbed primarily by the foliage, with some absorption by the roots in moist soil conditions.

Once inside the plant Diclofop-methyl undergoes rapid transformation from the ester to the biologically active from, which is then translocated throughout the plant.

Diclofop-methyl works by inhibiting fatty acid production via prevention of acetyl CoA carboxylase (ACCase) synthase. As a result of Diclofop-methyl activity, the plant’s cell membrane is destroyed, providing a water soaked appearance on the leaves of susceptible plants.

Diclofop-methyl also results in death of the growing tips, hence plant leaves of treated grasses can be easily pulled from their sheaths. Diclofop-methyl also prevents the translocation of assimilates (plant food reserves) to the root system, reduces plant chlorophyll content, and inhibits photosynthesis and meristem activity in weedy grasses.
