Product Description
Adama Agil is a selective, post-emergence herbicide that is used to control annual grasses in a wide range of crops. It is formulated as an emulsifiable concentrate (EC) and is applied to the leaves of the weeds.
Technical Composition
Agil Herbicide contains 10% w/w of the active ingredient propaquizafop. Propaquizafop is a member of the aryloxyphenoxy propionates (AOPP) family of herbicides. It works by inhibiting the plant enzyme acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase). ACCase is essential for the production of fatty acids, so when it is inhibited, the plant is unable to grow and eventually dies.
Mode of Action
Agil Herbicide is absorbed by the leaves of the weeds and then transported throughout the plant. It accumulates in the meristem, which is the growing point of the plant. Once it reaches the meristem, propaquizafop inhibits ACCase, which prevents the plant from producing fatty acids. This leads to the death of the plant.
