FORCEUP (Non-Selective)

FORCEUP (Non-Selective) is a pre-planting herbicide, carefully formulated preparation to control the emerged weeds. It acts by inhibiting 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate (EPSP), an enzyme of the aromatic acid biosynthetic pathway. This prevents the synthesis of essential aromatic amino acids needed for protein biosynthesis.

Mode of Action: It is a non-selective systemic foliar-applied, total agriculture herbicide with rapid translocation throughout the plant for the control of most stubborn annual and perennial grasses. The green parts of the weeds absorb this product and not the mature brown bark.

Directions of use:

1. Ensure that the sprayer is properly and correctly calibrated before use.
2. Shake the container before use.
3. Half fill the sprayer with clean water and add the recommended quantity of this product.
4. Agitate during the completion of filling, rinse at least three times, adding the rinsing water to the spray tank on each occasion prior to completion of filling.
5. Spray only on actively growing weeds.
6. Apply after leaves expand fully.
7. If the container is empty, then destroy the container but if this product still remains in the container, replace the cap tightly after use.
