About Fenoxaprop-p ethyl 9.3% & 10% EC
Fenoxaprop-p-ethyl 9.3% EC is a selective, post-emergent, emulsifiable concentrate herbicide used to control grassy weeds in broadleaf crops like soybean, cotton, rice, black gram, and groundnut by inhibiting fatty acid synthesis, stopping weed growth and causing death, offering broad-spectrum control against species like Barnyard grass and Crabgrass. It's absorbed through leaves and stems, works systemically, and is known for effective control at low dosages in various crops, improving yields. Key Features & Benefits:
- Selective Control: Targets grassy weeds without harming the main broadleaf crop.
- Post-Emergent: Applied after weeds have sprouted.
- Systemic Action: Absorbed by weeds and moves throughout to kill them.
- Broad Spectrum: Controls various grasses like Echinochloa, Digitaria, Dactyloctenium, and Setaria species.
- Eco-Friendly: Breaks down quickly in the environment.
- Versatile: Works independently of soil type.
How it Works:
- It's an ACCase inhibitor, blocking the enzyme needed for fatty acid synthesis in weeds.
- This stops the production of new cell membranes, halting growth and leading to weed death.
Crops Used In:
- Soybean, Cotton, Paddy (Rice), Black Gram (Urad), Groundnut, Onion, Jute.
Application:
- Applied as a foliar spray, typically 20-25 days after sowing for most crops, or at specific weed growth stages (2-4 leaf stage).
- Dosage varies by crop (e.g., 300-400 ml per acre) and requires dilution in water.
Highly Effective, Selective Weed ControlFenoxaprop-p-ethyl's unique inhibition of ACCase allows for specific targeting of grass weeds without harming your cereal crops. Its post-emergence action means it's especially useful when weeds threaten crop health after planting.
Easy Application and Versatile PackagingAvailable in 250 ml, 500 ml, 1 L, 5 L, and bulk packaging, Fenoxaprop-p-ethyl EC adapts easily to farms of various sizes. The recommended dosage of 60 to 65 ml per acre ensures optimal weed control with minimal effort.
