Mode of Action
• Strongarm controls target weeds by inhibiting the plant enzyme, Aceto Lactate Synthase (ALS).
• Inhibition of ALS stops synthesis of 3 amino acids which are generally active in meristematic tissue (root/shoot tip).
• It is absorbed by roots and to a lesser extent shoots of germinating seedlings of weeds which prevents them from emerging.
• This affects protein synthesis and cell division ultimately leading to death of target weeds.
Always read and follow label directions.
