How it Works
- Mode of Action: It is a systemic herbicide that belongs to the Aryloxyphenoxy-propionate (FOPs) chemical group.
- Mechanism: The active ingredient, Fenoxaprop-p-ethyl, inhibits the ACCase enzyme in grassy weeds.
- Consequence: This inhibition prevents the synthesis of fatty acids, which are crucial for weed cell membrane development and growth.
- Result: Weed growth stops, and the weeds die off, typically turning yellow before becoming brown within 10-14 days.
Key Features
- Selective: It controls grassy weeds while leaving broadleaf crops unaffected.
- Post-Emergent: Applied after the weeds have emerged and are actively growing.
- Systemic: The herbicide is absorbed by the leaves and transported throughout the weed's system, killing the entire plant.
- Effective at Low Doses: It requires only a small quantity for effective weed control.
- No Residual Soil Activity: It is safe for subsequent crops as it does not leave a residue in the soil.
- Recommended Crops soybean, cotton, rice, black gram, and onion. Target Weeds Barnyard grass (Echinochloa spp.), Digitaria spp, Eleusine indica, Brachiaria sp, and Other grassy and narrow-leaved weeds.
