🧪 Mode of Action
Pantera 4 EC is absorbed through the leaves of target grass weeds and moves systemically throughout the plant via xylem and phloem. It inhibits the enzyme Acetyl‑CoA carboxylase (ACCase), disrupting fatty acid synthesis which is essential for cell membrane formation and growth, leading to weed death.
