Description

Oxyfluorfen CAS NO 42874-03-3 is a selective pre-emergence and early post-emergence herbicide belonging to the diphenyl ether chemical class. It provides effective, long-lasting control of a broad spectrum of annual broadleaf weeds and grasses in various crops. This product is essential for agricultural professionals and formulators seeking reliable residual weed management. Its primary applications are in major field crops, orchards, and non-crop areas.

Application

• Selective Herbicide for Tree Nuts and Fruits: Widely used in almonds, pistachios, citrus, and vineyards for pre-emergence control of weeds like lambsquarters, pigweed, and barnyardgrass.
• Field Crop Protection: Applied in crops such as cotton, soybeans, and peanuts to manage weed competition during critical early growth stages.
• Non-Crop and Industrial Vegetation Management: Effective for total vegetation control on rights-of-way, fence lines, and around industrial sites.
• Rice Paddy Herbicide: Used in certain regions for weed control in direct-seeded rice, targeting weeds like barnyardgrass and sedges.
• Turf and Ornamental Management: Employed in professional turf settings and ornamental nurseries for selective weed control.
• Agricultural Formulations: Serves as a key active ingredient for manufacturers producing emulsifiable concentrate (EC) and granular (GR) herbicide formulations.
