Applications

Biochemistry: Microtubule assembly inhibition.
Mode of action: It is a selectivesoil-herbicide which acts by entering the seedling in the hypocotyl region. Italso inhibits root development.
Uses: Trifluralin is used for pre-emergence control of manyannual grasses and broad-leaved weeds in brassicas, beans, peas, carrots,parsnips, lettuce, capsicums, tomatoes, artichokes, onions, garlic, vines,strawberries, raspberries, citrus fruit, oilseed rape, peanuts, soya beans,sunflowers, safflowers, ornamentals, cotton, sugar beet, sugar cane, and inforestry. It is used with linuron or isoproturon for control of annual grassesand broad-leaved weeds in winter cereals. Normally applied pre-planting withsoil incorporation, at 0.5-1.0 kg/ha,but post-planting application is also possible for some crops.
Formulation types: EC; GR.
