Fenoxaprop P Ethyl 10 Ec Herbicide

About Fenoxaprop P Ethyl 10 Ec Herbicide

• Mode of Action: Fenoxaprop-P-ethyl is absorbed primarily by the leaves and stems of weeds and is translocated to the growing points. It works by inhibiting the enzyme acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase), which is essential for fatty acid synthesis in grass weeds, leading to growth cessation and eventual plant death.
• Target Weeds: It is highly effective against a wide range of grass weeds, including Phalaris minor (canary grass), Echinochloa spp. (barnyard grass), Digitaria spp. (crabgrass), and foxtails, but it is not effective against broadleaf weeds or sedges.
• Target Crops: It is safe for use in most broadleaf crops, including potatoes, beans, cotton, peanuts, flax, and oilseed rape. When used in wheat, rye, and triticale, it is often applied with a safener to prevent crop injury.
• Application: It is a post-emergent herbicide, typically applied when weeds are in the 2-4 leaf stage, which often coincides with 15-35 days after sowing the crop. It is crucial to follow label instructions for optimal results.
• Benefits: It offers a flexible application window, is rapidly broken down in the soil with no residual effect on succeeding crops, and provides broad-spectrum control of most important grassy weeds.
