Captora 4.8%, w.r.c.

CAPTORA 4.8% w.r.c. – systemic post-emergence herbicide for IMI sunflower, resistant to herbicides of the imidazoline group, grown according to the Clearfield production system.

Mechanism of action

Effect of the drug CAPTORA 4.8% v.r.c. based on inhibition of the enzyme acetolactate synthase (ALS). Inhibition of ALS is a catalyst for the biosynthesis of amino acids: valine, leucine and isoleucine. Inhibition of ALS blocks the formation of these amino acids and protein synthesis, which in turn leads to the death of weeds.
