Cereal

Features

CARNIVORE® 420 EC is a unique premix of three active ingredients namely MCPA (iso-octyl ester), bromoxynil, and fluroxypyr, from two HRAC groups.
MCPA and fluroxypr belong to group 4 while bromoxynil is a group 6 herbicide.
MCPA is a selective, systemic, hormone-type herbicide absorbed by leaves and roots, translocated acropetally and basipetally in the phloem and xylem, accumulating in the meristematic regions, causing uncontrolled growth.
Fluroxypyr is a selective, systemic herbicide absorbed primarily by foliage, translocated acropetally and basipetally in the phloem and xylem to other parts of the plants. It induces characteristic auxin-type responses such as leaf curling.
Bromoxynil is a selective, contact herbicide absorbed by foliage, with limited translocation. It is a photosynthetic inhibitor, causing the formation of reactive chemical species that oxidise and degrade lipids and proteins.
This three-in-one formulation with multiple modes of action makes the product highly effective against a wide range of weeds.
CARNIVORE® 420 EC is effective against certain tough-to control weeds like gousblom (Arctotheca calendula), Kaapse dubbeltjie (Emex australis), turknael (Erodium moschatum), ramenas (Raphanus raphanistrum), and hongerbos (Senecio consanguineous).
Due to its ability to target weeds through various pathways, CARNIVORE® 420 EC is an ideal tool for herbicide resistance management strategies.
