Mode of Action
• Granite causes death of target weeds by inhibiting the plant enzyme Aceto Lactate Synthase (ALS).
• Inhibition of ALS stops synthesis of amino acids which affects protein synthesis and cell division ultimately leading to death of target weeds.
• Granite provides dual action to control target weeds:
• Its application at 1-3 leaf stage which generally coincides with 8-12 days after transplanting, controls germinated weeds present in the field (1st action).
• Application at this stage also reduces fresh germination of weeds which was expected to come from subsequent flushes of weeds (2nd action).
Always read and follow label directions.
