- Herbicide Target Species
- How It Works
Homeplate® features a unique mode of action that quickly disrupts plant cell walls and removes the protective waxes covering the leaf tissue, reducing photosynthesis. This results in leaf and stem collapse and dehydration.
- How It Performs
Homeplate delivers consistent performance against target weeds on conventional and organic farms. It has a reentry interval (REI) of 24 hours and a zero-day pre-harvest interval (PHI). It is NOP compliant labeled, OMRI Listed®, has a CAUTION signal word and is MRL-exempt.
