Deacon® 600WDG 1KG

MODE OF ACTION

• Diuron is a systemic substituted phenyl urea herbicide which functions by inhibiting the Hill reaction in photosynthesis, limiting the production of high-energy compounds such as adenosine triphosphate (ATP) used for various metabolic processes.

• Hexazinone is a systemic herbicide that inhibits photosynthesis in susceptible plants, diverting highly reactive molecules into a chain reaction that destroys chloroplast and cell membranes, and other vital compounds.

APPLICATION RATES

APPLICATION TIMING: Apply DEACON® 600WDG before the weeds emerge (pre-emergence) or at 3-5 leaves stage (post-emergence).

APPLICATION TECHNIQUE: Apply DEACON® 600WDG by spraying directly onto weeds using at least 400 litres of water per hectare. Soil should be moist at time of application and be free from trash.
