Description

Ethofumesate is a selective herbicide belonging to the benzofuran chemical class, widely recognized for its pre- and post-emergence activity against a broad spectrum of grass and broadleaf weeds. Its primary value lies in providing effective, long-lasting weed control in key commercial crops, thereby protecting yield and quality. This product is essential for agricultural professionals and formulators serving the sugar beet, turf, and cereal crop industries globally.

Application

Ethofumesate is a cornerstone herbicide in modern agriculture, valued for its versatility and efficacy. Key application areas include:

• Sugar Beet Cultivation: Pre- and post-emergence control of annual grasses and broadleaf weeds, critical for protecting this high-value crop.
• Turf Management: Selective weed control in established turf for golf courses, sports fields, and ornamental lawns.
• Cereal Crops: Used in certain formulations for weed management in rye and other select cereals.
• Professional Vegetation Management: Control of invasive and nuisance weeds in non-crop areas.
• Agricultural Formulations: Serves as an active ingredient in the manufacturing of emulsifiable concentrates (EC), suspension concentrates (SC), and other herbicide formulations.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product stability and handling properties.
