Sensitive Weeds	Most weeds are susceptible to or suppressed by, dichlobenil including perennials, vetch and horsetail.
Uptake and Translocation	Absorbed by the roots and rapidly translocated upward in the plant.
Basis of Selectivity	Selectivity is based on physical separation between the dichlobenil vapour layer in the top 5 cm of soil and the established crop roots below this level.
Application Methods	Applied preemergence to the weeds, preferably in either fall or early spring.
Residual Activity	May persist and provide weed control for 2-6 months; higher rates and applications following use in previous year(s) may result in soil residues persisting for longer than 1 year.
Unique Characteristics	Although applied as a granular herbicide it kills by means of a vapour phase in the top soil profile. Weed roots take up the herbicide as they enter this zone. Do not apply dichlobenil during periods of high soil temperature, since loss of control will result due to volatilization of the herbicide.
