Flufenacet inhibits very-long-chain fatty acid (VLCFA) elongase in weeds. This blocks essential cell division and meristematic growth, resulting in stunted growth, chlorosis, necrosis, and eventual death of weed plants.
Target Weeds

- Leptochloa chinensis
- Digitaria spp.
- Panicum spp.
- Setaria spp.

Application Instructions
1. Mixing
This product is a Wettable Powder (WP). Create a slurry by mixing the required amount of powder with a small volume of water. Add this slurry to the main spray tank filled with water while agitating continuously to ensure a uniform suspension.
2. Timing of Application
