Mode of Action
Agroxone (MCPA) is a systemic phenoxy herbicide used to control annual and perennial weeds . As with some of the other phenoxy herbicides, MCPA is an acid, but it is often formulated as a salt such as diethanolamine salt. Unless otherwise indicated, this document will refer to the acid form. The herbicide works by concentrating in the actively growing regions of a plant (meristematic tissue) where it interferes with protein synthesis, cell division and ultimately the growth of the plant.
