Spinnaker is a pre-emergent herbicide that controls a broad spectrum of weeds in cereals and oilseeds. It can also be used to control weeds in pastures and vineyards. Spinnaker contains the active ingredient imazethapyr, which is a herbicide that works by inhibiting the enzyme acetolactate synthase in plants. This enzyme is responsible for the production of essential amino acids, and without it, the weed cannot grow or reproduce.

Spinnaker is a versatile herbicide that can be used in a variety of situations. It can be applied pre-emergence to control weeds before they emerge from the soil, or it can be applied post-emergence to control weeds that have already emerged. Spinnaker can also be used in a variety of spray applications, including ground applications, aerial applications, and spot treatments.
