Description
Mode of Action:
- Biosynthesis Inhibition: Pyroxasulfone blocks the synthesis of VLCFAs, which are critical to cell membrane formation in plants, leading to the death of susceptible weeds.
Target Weeds:
- Annual Grasses
- Broadleaf Weeds such as:
- Soybean: Echinochloa colonum, Celosia argentia, Trianthema portulacastrum, Amaranthus viridis, Digeria arvensis
- Maize: Echinochloa crusgalli, Eleusine indica, Phyllanthus niruri
- Wheat: Phalaris minor
Application Information:
- Crops: Soybean, Maize, Wheat
- Application Timing:
- Pre-plant application for Soybean
- 0-3 days after sowing for Maize and Wheat
- Dosage: 60-150 gm per acre, depending on crop and weed type
