Golf (Oxyflurofen 23.5% EC)

Product Description

Oxyfluorfen 23.5% EC isa selective herbicide used for controlling a wide range of weeds, both broadleaf and grassy, in various crops and non-crop areas.It is available in an emulsifiable concentrate (EC) formulation, indicating a liquid form with 23.5% active ingredient, oxyfluorfen.Oxyfluorfen works by inhibiting an enzyme involved in photosynthesis, leading to the destruction of plant cell membranes and ultimately weed death.

Key Features and Benefits:

Broad-spectrum weed control:Effective against both broadleaf and grassy weeds.

Pre- and post-emergence control:Can be applied before or after weeds emerge, offering flexibility in application.

Contact and residual activity:Provides both immediate weed kill and long-lasting control.

Crop safety:Generally safe for crops when used according to label instructions.

Versatile application:Suitable for use in various crops including vegetables, fruits, ornamentals, and non-crop areas.

Mode of Action:

Oxyfluorfen inhibits the enzyme protoporphyrinogen oxidase (Protox), which is involved in chlorophyll synthesis.

This inhibition leads to the accumulation of protoporphyrin, a molecule that reacts with light to produce harmful reactive oxygen species.

These reactive oxygen species damage cell membranes, causing rapid weed desiccation and death.

Common Uses:

Fruit trees:Control of weeds in orchards.

Vegetables:Weed control in various vegetable crops.

Field crops:Used in crops like rice, onion, potato, and groundnut.

Ornamentals:Weed management in nurseries and gardens.

Non-crop areas:Control of weeds in areas like driveways, patios, and fence lines.
