8. GENERAL DESCRIPTION:

Rates in HerbiGuide are for the 25g/L formulations. Multiply rates by 3.125 if using 8g/L forms such as Bulldock 8UL.

A group 3A, synthetic pyrethroid insecticide with broad spectrum action especially against Lepidoptera. Active mainly by contact but also by ingestion. It has a rapid initial effect and some residual action. Non systemic in plants.

It is a sodium channel modulator.
