Dinamic® a well-established product in the sugarcane industry, consisting of a triazolinone herbicide which exhibits excellent efficacy due to its rapid absorption and translocation. It is well-known for its excellent long-term pre-emergent broadleaf weed control and effect on yellow nutsedge. Dinamic is resistant to ultra violet degradation. It is a potent inhibitor of photosynthetic electron transport and has a good selectivity profile. DropZone 500 WP, is also readily absorbed by roots / shoot, and is transported by xylem to the foliage. The unique feature of this herbicide is its ability to perform in both dry and moist conditions. The benefits of this double action, group F and C, provides two modes of action for reduced risk of weed resistance. Often known as the, ‘one shot’ application, DinaZone™ has impressive residual action. Further with its excellent burn-down properties on germinated weed, other herbicides, such as Paraquat® and MSMA become unnecessary. Performances are consistent and out performs industry standards providing peace of mind and reliability.
