This Dry Flowable (DF) formulation, easily manageable, can be seamlessly blended with water to form a suspension ideal for efficient spraying. Propanil effectively targets prevalent weeds such as barnyard grass, sprangletop, sedges, and specific broadleaf varieties. Typically administered post-emergence, it delivers precise control once the weeds have initiated growth.

Product Specifications
- Mode of Entry: Contact
- Mode of Action: Propanil 80% DF involves disrupting the photosynthetic process in plants, particularly the electron transport chain within chloroplasts. When Propanil is absorbed by the leaves or roots of target plants, it is translocated within the plant system. Once inside the plant, Propanil inhibits the activity of the enzyme photosystem II (PSII), which is essential for the transfer of electrons during photosynthesis.
