GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS Affinity Force Herbicide is an early post-emergence herbicide for the control of certain broadleaf weeds in winter cereals and pyrethrum. Affinity Force is a fast acting contact herbicide and controls weeds through a process of membrane disruption. The foliar uptake of Affinity Force is rapid and plant desiccation can occur within 1 to 4 days of application. Application of Affinity Force should target small actively growing weeds. Subsequent germinations will not be controlled.
