HERBICIDE MODE OF ACTION GROUPS<br />
Herbicides are classified by Croplife Australia into mode of<br />
action groups which assist in resistance management.<br />
The following tables are a summary guide only, <strong>and</strong> not a<br />
substitute for reading a currently registered label, the MSDS<br />
<strong>and</strong> obtaining up-to-date advice.<br />
The tables also provide an overall picture of the types of<br />
insecticides available for crop protection.<br />
Mark herbicides you use at work.<br />
