Mechanize steps:

When the drug hits the weed imazapyr and imazamox pretty quickly absorbed through leaves and roots. The active ingredients of Euro lighting fall through the xylem and phloem in the plant tissue, where they operate in as inhibitors of the enzyme acetolactate synthase (ALS).
This enzyme is located only in plants and bacteria, animals do not. ALS is a catalyst for the biosynthesis of essential amino acids: valine, leucine and isoleucine.
Suppression of education the ALS imidazolinone blocks the formation of these essential amino acids and protein synthesis that, in turn, leads to the death of weeds.

Terms of use

The stages of weeds:
Euro-lightning® should be used during the period of active growth of weeds. Dicotyledonous weeds should not grow phase 6 leaves (pigweed white — 4 leaves), and cereal — 4 leaves.
At high infestation by species ambrosia recommended phase — up to 4 real leaf of the weed. In addition to rising to the moment of processing of weed plants, Euro-lightning® when released into the soil and restrains germinating weeds.
When the above phases of development of weeds sunflower, usually is in stages 2-6-five true leaves. Not recommended the drug before the onset of phase 2 crop leaves.
If you have problems with Broomrape:
