Mode of Action
Understanding the mechanism of SUFI
SUFI controls weeds by inhibiting the Protoporphyrinogen Oxidase (PPO) enzyme, which is essential for chlorophyll formation in plants. This causes the accumulation of compounds that react with sunlight, damaging weed cell membranes. As a result, susceptible weeds quickly dry out and die, while the product also provides residual weed control in the soil.
