RE: [compost_tea] Snapshot - a pre-emergent herbicide
Sorry
I copied the precious post from an advertisement for Snapshot "Snapshot bonds tightly with
soil particles and is low in water solubility, so it won't move out of the
application zone."
Results indicate that isoxaben from Snapshot TG was lost from the nursery
site of application in runoff water. These losses are higher than those
previously reported for other herbicides, possibly due to differences in water
solubility, adsorption to carrier particles, sediments, etc., and stability in
the environment.
Just
another example of creative advertising.
Active ingredient
Snapshot contains the
active ingredients isoxaben and trifluralin. Isoxaben is found in Gallery*
specialty herbicide, and trifluralin is a component of Team* Pro specialty
herbicide. Snapshot bonds tightly with soil particles and is low in water
solubility, so it won't move out of the application zone.
Hazard: Based on results
from animal studies isoxzben causes genetic damage and birth defects.
There are data that support the finding that isoxaben has potential to have
cancer causing effects on animals.
Residual Soil Activity: Trifluralin is active in the soil.
Germination of crops may be impacted for up to 1½ years after soil treatment,
especially in arid conditions. It is not usually absorbed from the soil by
plants.
Sounds like it will kill the microorganisms that are around.
Another great
chemical from DOW chemical corp. (I hope every understands the
sarcasm).

What is the active ingredient in this herbicide.
Different herbicides have different names in different parts of the world.
