How Halox 520 Works

Halox 520 works by disrupting the plant's photosynthesis process, causing the leaves to turn yellow and eventually die. It is a post-emergence herbicide, which means that it must be applied to actively growing weeds. Halox 520 is absorbed by the leaves of the weeds and translocated throughout the plant, providing systemic control.
