Hoplite is a fast-acting liverwort, moss, algae, and lichen control agent formulated from potassium salts of fatty acids. The active ingredient disrupts the lipid–protein matrix of cellular membranes in target organisms. This disruption causes membrane leakage, rapid desiccation, and cell death, with affected moss and algae yellowing and browning soon after application.
Hoplite is a non-staining and biodegradable formulation, with no metal salts and no alcohol.
