Mode of Action: Prevents Growth at the Root Level
Acetochlor belongs to the chloroacetanilide group and works by inhibiting protein synthesis in sensitive weed species. The active ingredient is absorbed primarily by the coleoptile and emerging roots of seedlings, where it stops mitotic activity. As a result, the weed dies before it can establish above ground.
-
Target Stage: Pre-emergence (before weeds sprout)
-
Action Site: Germinating seeds and roots
-
Degradation: Biodegraded in soil within 45 days, with limited leaching due to low mobility

This herbicide is ideal for early-season application in the following crops:
| Crop | Weed Spectrum | Recommended Dose (g/ha) | Application Method |
