SCIENCE

Mode of Action

Understanding the mechanism of ZINTA

Weed Control Mechanism

ZINTA works by inhibiting the synthesis of very-long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) in germinating weed seedlings. This disrupts normal cell membrane formation and prevents root and shoot development, effectively controlling weeds before they emerge. The product is selective to transplanted rice due to the crop's ability to detoxify Pretilachlor.
