HERBICIDE

CLASSIFICATION
Repeated use of herbicides with the same site of action can result
in the development of herbicide-resistant weed populations.

by MODE OF by PREMIX
This chart groups herbicides by their modes of action to assist you in selecting This chart lists premix herbicides alphabetically by their trade names
herbicides 1) to maintain greater diversity in herbicide use and 2) to rotate so you can identify the premix’s component herbicides and their respective
ACTION among effective herbicides with different sites of action to delay the development site-of-action groups. Refer to the Site-of-Action chart on the left
(effect on plant growth) of herbicide resistance. for more information.
