The mechanism of action of the herbicide

The drug of continuous action equally destructively affects all representatives of the flora. That is, upon contact with the herbicide, both weeds and cultivated species die. A hurricane is capable of destroying even shrubby and woody vegetation, if the concentration of the solution is chosen correctly.

The effect on plant tissues is indirect. The active substance, having penetrated into the tissues, inhibits the biochemical processes that ensure metabolism. As a result, 2-3 days after exposure, growth points die, the upper part of the plant turns yellow. The lower part of the shoots dies later. The death of annuals occurs after 8-10 days, perennial weeds die within a month or a little longer. The plant does not recover, since the roots also die.
