Formulations & concentrations
Technical materials, single active formulations and mixtures are listed separately, each with its declared content and the tolerance set by the FAO/WHO specification manual. Specifications added to the enquiry list can be sent together with other products in one purchase or registration enquiry.
Technical materials
Technical material for formulators. Each specification states the assay, relevant impurities and test methods.
Single active formulations
Finished formulations of a single active ingredient, packed and labelled for the destination market.
Approved uses differ by country; the label registered in the destination market applies.
Quality specification
Each specification is supplied to the quality clauses that the FAO/WHO specification manual sets for its formulation type, tested by CIPAC methods. The batch certificate of analysis reports the measured values.

Mode of action & use
Mode of action
A synthetic auxin of the benzoic acid class that disrupts growth regulation in susceptible broadleaf plants.
Postemergence, absorbed by leaves and roots and translocated to growing points; selective in grass crops.
Typical targets and crops
Broadleaf weeds in cereals, corn, sugarcane, pasture and dicamba tolerant crops; it is volatile, so drift onto sensitive crops must be avoided.
Resistance management · HRAC 4
Synthetic auxins carry a low to medium resistance risk. Observe crop growth stage limits and avoid drift onto sensitive broadleaf crops.
This is general information on the active ingredient. Registered crops, targets, rates and preharvest intervals follow the label approved in each market.
