Fenoxaprop-ethyl 98% TC is a technical-grade, selective post-emergence herbicide used to control a wide range of annual and perennial grass weeds in broadleaf crops. It belongs to the aryloxyphenoxypropionate (AOPP) group of herbicides, known for their ability to inhibit essential fatty acid synthesis in grasses.
Key Features
High Purity: Contains 98% technical content for formulation use.
Selective Action: Targets grass weeds without harming broadleaf crops.
Post-Emergence Control: Effective on actively growing grasses.
Systemic Movement: Ensures complete eradication, including roots.
Applications
Crops Treated
Wheat
Rice
Soybeans
Cotton
Vegetables
Weeds Controlled
Annual Grasses: Wild Oat (Avena fatua), Barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli), Green Foxtail (Setaria viridis).
Perennial Grasses: Couch Grass (Elymus repens), Johnson Grass (Sorghum halepense).
Mechanism of Action
Fenoxaprop-ethyl inhibits the enzyme acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase), which is crucial for lipid biosynthesis in grasses. This inhibition disrupts cell membrane production, halting plant growth and causing eventual weed death.
Advantages
Selective Weed Control: Targets grass weeds without affecting broadleaf crops.
Systemic Effectiveness: Moves throughout the plant to ensure complete control.
High Compatibility: Suitable for tank mixes with other herbicides.
Flexible Application: Can be used at various growth stages of weeds.
Safety and Environmental Considerations
Handling and Storage
Wear personal protective equipment (PPE) during handling.
Store in a well-ventilated, cool, and dry location away from food and feed.
Environmental Impact
Aquatic Toxicity: Avoid runoff into water bodies to prevent harm to aquatic organisms.
Non-Target Plants: Prevent drift to nearby crops and desirable vegetation.
Regulatory Compliance
Adhere to local regulations and label instructions for safe and effective use.
Limitations
Resistance Risks: Prolonged use may lead to the development of resistant weed populations.
Narrow Target Spectrum: Ineffective against broadleaf weeds.
Weather Sensitivity: Requires dry conditions for optimal absorption.
Conclusion
Fenoxaprop-ethyl 98% TC is a powerful herbicide for controlling grass weeds in various crops. Its systemic action, high efficacy, and selective nature make it an indispensable tool in integrated weed management programs. Proper application practices and resistance management are key to maximizing its benefits.
