Mode of Action
Understanding the mechanism of ZINTA PLUS
ZINTA PLUS works by inhibiting the synthesis of very-long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) in germinating weed seedlings. After application, the EW formulation spreads uniformly through the flooded paddy water and reaches the soil surface, where it prevents normal root and shoot development in emerging weeds. The reduced solvent content also helps minimize crop stress while maintaining effective weed control.
