- Rapid Absorption: Upon spraying, the active ingredient is quickly absorbed by the weed's foliage.
- Translocation: It moves systemically through the plant body to the roots and growing points.
- Elimination: The affected weeds turn purple or red within 4–7 days, followed by complete death within 10–15 days.

Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Soybean | 300 - 400 ml | 200 L | 1.5 - 2 ml | 90 |
| Cotton | 300 - 400 ml | 200 L | 1.5 - 2 ml | 85 |
