Mode of Action of Militate MSMA Herbicide;

  • MSMA is a foliar-absorbed herbicide. It accumulates in root and leaf tips, rapidly killing leaf and stem tissue.
  • MSMA has multiple sites of action within the plant (Group Z herbicide). However, it is thought to impact weed growth by interfering with ATP production (energy storage) and cell division (growth process).
  • MSMA is typically more effective on grass weeds than broadleaf weeds. MSMA is generally rainfast within 3 hours of application and has partially systemic properties which allow it to move through the plant.
  • Susceptible weeds generally turn yellow to brown 3-7 days after  MSMA application.

Pack Size: 10-Litre
