Uptake and Translocation Readily absorbed through roots, less so through foliage; translocation primarily upwards in xylem.
Basis of Selectivity Differencial metabolism often coupled with differential uptake and translocation.
Application Methods Preemergence, postemergence, directed postemergence, pre plus postemergence.
Residual Activity Does not pose a problem for subsequent crops since phytotoxic residues from applications at agricultural rates disappear within 4 months.
Unique Characteristics Do not use on sandy or coarse-textured soils having less than 2% organic matter. If unusually heavy rains follow application, severe injury may occur to corn, soybeans, carrots and potatoes.
