Group 4 Herbicide

ProForce Scuba 300 is an Emulsifiable Concentrate Formulation, containing 300 g/L of 2,4-D active ingredient as a Phenoxy Acid. ProForce Scuba 300 is effective against broadleaf weeds and is registered in Non-Crop and Pasture for the integrated control of Groundsel Bush, Mother-of-Millions, Noogoora Burr and Bathurst Burr. ProForce Scuba 300 is registered for use in Waterways, non-potable water, drains, dam margins, lakes & streams for the control of Water Hyacinth and Water Lettuce in specified states.

Key Features

• Proven systemic activity within the plant.
• A compatible 2,4-D formulation that can be tank mixed with aquatically registered glyphosates such as ProForce Rapid Fire 510 or 800, ProForce Slinger 240 (240g/L Picloram), ProForce Wallop 600 (600g/L Clopyralid), MetForce 600 WG (600g/kg Metsulfuronmethyl), Flumioxazin, Diquat, Triclopyr or Carfentrazone.
• A unique registration for Aquatic and Terrestrial use.
• Having an aquatic registration allows the use to include lakes and dam margins, irrigation tracks, drains and infrastructure where the listed weeds are present
  

Maximising Performance:

• Refer to the label for full details on aquatic and terrestrial application.
• Registered for emergent aquatic weed spraying by Knapsack spray, Hand gun, Sprinkler sprayer and Helicopter only.
• Don’t treat more than one-half body of water at a time (7 Days between retreating).
• Target and tank water pH > 8 may lead to reduced effectiveness for the acid formulation. Add ProForce Monterey Aquatic Surfactant to reduce surface water pH.
• Applied directly to water, direct spray onto aquatic weeds but not to the point of runoff.
• To the extent possible, only treat plants in water bodies greater than 1m deep.

Mode of Action

2,4-D herbicides are called auxin-type herbicides. They kill plants by causing the cells in the tissues that carry water and nutrients to divide and grow without stopping.  An auxin herbicide mimics the natural plant hormone auxin and disrupt the plant’s normal growth processes. This causes excessive cell elongation and uncontrolled growth, ultimately leading to plant death. Auxin herbicides “over-stimulate” the plant’s growth mechanisms, causing abnormal development and tissue damage when applied at high concentrations.
