Syngenta Casper Turf Herbicide

Syngenta Casper Turf Herbicide: Dual-Action Turf Weed Control

Dual-Active Ingredients for Broad-Spectrum Efficacy

1. Dicamba (Group O, Auxin Mimic): A powerful plant growth regulator that is absorbed by the foliage and roots, disrupting plant cell growth and quickly leading to stem twisting and plant death.

2. Prosulfuron (Group B, ALS Inhibitor): A sulfonylurea herbicide that provides a slower, more thorough kill by inhibiting the acetolactate synthase (ALS) enzyme, essential for the synthesis of branched-chain amino acids in susceptible weeds.

The combination results in a synergistic effect, controlling weeds that are tolerant to single-active products.

Key Performance Features

The 55 WG formulation (containing 500 g/kg Dicamba and 50 g/kg Prosulfuron) ensures easy handling, accurate measurement, and quick dispersion in the spray tank.
