Fenoxaprop-p-ethyl 6.9 EC (6.7% w/w)

 Fenoxaprop-p-ethyl is a selective post-emergent herbicide recommended for the control of grassy weeds, especially Echinochloa spp. in direct seeded and transplanted rice. It contains Fenoxaprop-p-ethyl as active ingredient which offers flexibility in application window. When combined as tank-mix with broad leaf herbicide like Sunrice it can offer total control of rice weed spectrum.

MODE OF ACTION

Fenoxaprop-p-ethyl is absorbed by leaves and stems of the plants and is translocated systemically. It predominantly inhibits the synthesis of fatty acids in the meristem tissue of grassy weeds.
