These herbicides differ in several characteristics. All of the herbicides listed above, except Prowl, are acid amide herbicides. They are absorbed primarily by the emerging shoot and affect shoot growth and development. This results in malformed leaves that do not unroll properly or seedlings that leaf out underground.
Prowl is a dinitroaniline.
It is absorbed primarily by the roots and inhibits cell division in the root. This results in inhibited root growth, swollen root tips, and stunted plants. Crops All of the herbicides listed above are labeled on commercial field corn. All of the herbicides, except Prowl, can be applied either preplant incorporated or preemergence. Prowl must be applied after planting on the soil surface without incorporation.
