Casper 55 WG
CASPER 55 WG is a professional herbicide designed for the protection of maize. It is distinguished by effective post-emergence control of annual and perennial dicotyledonous weeds.
Description
MODE OF ACTION OF CASPER 55 WG:
The product is a herbicide that acts systemically within the plant. It penetrates weeds through roots and leaves, causing rapid growth inhibition, stunting, and then complete drying out. Dicamba exhibits effects typical of synthetic auxins, causing leaf twisting and deformation leading to necrosis. Prosulfuron enhances this effect by blocking cell division. It is most effective on young, vigorously growing weeds in early developmental stages (1-4 leaves).
Advantages of using CASPER 55 WG:
- Systemic action: Reaches every part of the plant, absorbed both through the root system and above-ground parts.
- Dual mode of action: Synergy of two active substances (dicamba and prosulfuron) with different mechanisms of action.
- Post-emergence efficacy: Effectively eliminates a wide range of troublesome dicotyledonous weeds during maize vegetation.
