AminoForce is a selective systematic post emergent herbicide. It is in liquid state and does not require long time for stirring. AminoForce (1 Litre) is fully soluble in all proportions and therefore is well adopted to low gallonage spray equipment, even at high rates of application.
It is almost Non-Polar 2,4-D formulation which results in rapid penetration. Any 2,4-D when applied to the foliage, penetrates the cuticle by diffusion. Since cuticle surface is lipoidal (non-polar) in nature and mineral salts of phenoxy acid are polar, they do not match each other leading to slow penetration.
AminoForce is a safe herbicide in connection with accumulation in soil and phytotoxicity. Being highly soluble in water it leaches more faster than the mineral salts of 2,4-D and is then absorbed by the soil organic matter or clay colloids. The absorbed AminoForce is then inactivated by Arthobacterium and Pseudomonas present in the soil. The maximum persistency in soil is one month.
AminoForce being fully soluble in water is compatible with Glyphostate, Dalapon, Simazine, Paraquat, Diuron for total control of a mixed weed population.
