How Dozo Maxx Works
Pyrithiobac-sodium inhibits acetolactate synthase in susceptible broadleaf weeds, stopping production of essential branched-chain amino acids. Quizalofop-ethyl inhibits ACCase in susceptible grasses, stopping fatty-acid synthesis and new growth. Visible decline follows after growth is arrested.
