How the active ingredients work
-
Glyphosate 200 g/L: Inhibits the EPSPS enzyme in the plant shikimate pathway, disrupting the production of essential amino acids. It moves within susceptible plants and gradually causes them to die.
-
2,4-D 20 g/L: Acts as a synthetic auxin, disrupting normal plant growth and development, particularly in susceptible broadleaf weeds.
Together, they can help control susceptible grasses and broadleaf weeds, depending on the weed species, growth stage and application conditions.
Weeds it can control
When used according to its approved label, SHEW SHEW may help control susceptible:
-
Annual grasses: Certain young, actively growing grass weeds.
-
Broadleaf weeds: Weeds such as pigweed, pigweed relatives and other susceptible broadleaf species.
-
Mixed weed populations: Some areas where grasses and broadleaf weeds grow together.
-
Unwanted vegetation on non-arable land
Control depends on the weed species and its growth stage.
Application rate: 4.5–9 litres per hectare for weeds on non-arable land. Confirm this rate against the original label and the target weed before use. Do not apply it to crops or other sites unless specifically permitted.
