Herbicide label

Detonate Herbicide Label

Detonate (EPA 42750-209-55467) is a Group 4 dicamba herbicide labeled for 18 crops. The label lists 186 controlled weeds, plus partial-control, suppression, and partner-control categories.

“DETONATE is readily absorbed by plants through shoot and root uptake, translocates throughout the plant's system, and accumulates in areas of active growth. DETONATE interferes with the plant's growth hormones (auxins) resulting in death of many broadleaf weeds.”

— Detonate EPA label, Reg. No. 42750-209-55467
