Product Background
Squadron is your perfect tank mix partner with other pre-emergence herbicides such as Tactix (alachlor) to effectively control a range of tough broadleaf weeds and grasses across many crop types. Taken up through the roots and emerging shoots of weed seeds, it acts by inhibition of photosynthetic pigments leading to bleaching symptoms on susceptible weed species. Susceptible weeds may emerge but are lacking pigmentation and plant death occurs shortly afterwards. Squadron allows effective control of weeds before they can compete with the crop and potentially reduce yield. To get the best out of Squadron good seedbed preparation is critical along with moisture for activation from either rainfall or irrigation.
