Diuron 80% WP
Stick® is a pre-emergence herbicide containing Diuron 80% WP (Wettable Powder).
Diuron works by inhibiting photosynthesis (specifically blocking electron transport in Photosystem II). It is a selective, systemic herbicide absorbed mainly through the roots, but also through foliage. It is translocated acropetally (upward) in the xylem, providing residual control of weeds.
It controls a wide range of annual and perennial broadleaf weeds, grassy weeds, and mosses in various crops.
