ZEAMAX 4 SC is a systemic herbicide, selective for corn crops, for the post-emergence control of annual and perennial grasses and some broadleaf weeds. It is absorbed primarily by weed foliage and translocated via xylem and phloem to meristematic points, where it acts by inhibiting the enzyme Acetolactate Synthetase (ALS), which synthesizes the amino acids Isoleucine, Leucine, and Valine, causing the growth and development of weeds to stop.
