How it Works
Stellar is readily absorbed by weed foliage. The florasulam component inhibits the ALS enzyme in plants resulting
in a rapid halt in plant growth followed by yellowing, most noticeable after 1-2 weeks. The fluroxpyr and MCPA
components mimic plant growth regulators causing swelling and thickening and twisted weed growth followed by
yellowing and browning, resulting in plant mortality.
