1.21    Application: Mechanism of action: effects on the organisms plagues (Toxic Ej. by inhalation, contact, systemic or other forms): Fomesafen absorb by foliar, which damage the photo-synthesis of the foliar, Protoporphyrinogen oxidase inhibitor; Injurious organisms controlled: redroot pigweed, common ragweed, wild mustard, lady’s-thumb, black nightshade, cocklebur, suppression of velvetleaf, lamb’s-quarters and tall waterhemp; Mechanism of action on the plagues: Cell-membrane disrupter; Field of predicted application (Example: field, greenhouse or others): Soybeans, black, brown, dutch brown, cranberry, kidney, lima, otebo, pinto, snap yellow, eye and white beans; Fitosanitarias conditions and environmental to be used: Beans metabolize fomesafen. Some initial bronzing of crop leaves may occur, but plants normally outgrow this condition without any effect on maturity or yield; Resistance (information on development of resistance and strategies of monitoreo): Persistence depends on weather and soil conditions (more persistent under dry conditions). Rotation to field corn, dry beans or soybeans the following year. Winter wheat may be planted 90 days after treatment. All other crops require a field bioassay
