Description

Flufenacet is a selective herbicide belonging to the oxyacetamide chemical class, widely recognized for its pre-emergent and early post-emergent control of grass and certain broadleaf weeds. Its primary value lies in providing long-lasting residual activity, making it a cornerstone component in integrated weed management programs for major crops. This product is essential for agricultural formulators and producers serving the global crop protection industry, particularly in the cultivation of corn, soybeans, and cereals.

Application

• Selective Herbicide Formulations: Primary use as a key active ingredient in emulsifiable concentrate (EC) and suspension concentrate (SC) formulations for pre-emergent weed control.
• Cereal Crop Protection: Effective management of annual grasses (e.g., black-grass, ryegrass) and some broadleaf weeds in wheat, barley, and rye.
• Corn and Maize Weed Control: Used in herbicide programs to protect corn from yield-robbing weeds like foxtails and panicums.
• Soybean and Oilseed Rape: Incorporated into tank mixes and pre-packaged mixtures for broad-spectrum weed control in broadleaf crops.
• Industrial Vegetation Management: Potential use in non-crop areas for managing unwanted vegetation, subject to local regulatory approvals.
• Seed Treatment Additive: In some systems, used as a component in seed treatment formulations to provide early-season protection.
