How DEADSHOCK Works
DEADSHOCK contains glufosinate-ammonium, a contact herbicidal active ingredient. Glufosinate inhibits glutamine synthetase, an enzyme involved in nitrogen metabolism in plants. This disruption causes accumulation of ammonia and interferes with normal plant processes, resulting in rapid loss of plant function and eventual death of susceptible weeds.
Because DEADSHOCK is a non-selective contact herbicide, spray coverage of actively growing green plant tissue is important for effective control. It should be kept away from desirable crops and vegetation unless specifically permitted by the product label.
Target Weeds
DEADSHOCK 15 SL is marketed for controlling susceptible weeds, particularly grasses and other unwanted vegetation. Available Philippine product listings describe it as a glufosinate contact herbicide and grass/weed killer.
The specific weed species, crops, application rates, and restrictions should always be taken from the current registered product label.
