Composition, release form and purpose of the drug "Propolol"
"Propolol" is a postemergence herbicide. It is produced in the form of water-dispersible granules - this means that, dissolving in water, the product acquires a homogeneous consistency.
The herbicide preparation "Propolol" contains two active ingredients:

Designed to provide grain crops with reliable protection from annual and perennial weeds. "Propolol" destroys even those species of weeds that are resistant to such herbicides as MCPA and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid.
The mechanism of action of the weed control
"Propolol" is characterized by systemic selective action. The active components of the product affect the green mass and penetrate deep into the rhizome of the weed plant through its stems and leaves. As a result, a weed that is unable to receive nutrients dies. The result of using the product, as a rule, appears on the seventh day from the moment of processing.
