Composition and release form of the herbicide Elumis
The weed control chemical Elumis is produced in the form of an oil dispersion, which greatly simplifies the work with the herbicide. The pesticide is created on the basis of two main components - mesotrione and nicosulfuron, which enhance the effects of each other.
