Herbicide
SAFLUFENACIL 90% WG
A selective water-dispersible granule (WG) herbicide that provides rapid burndown and residual control of a wide range of broadleaf weeds. Suitable for pre-plant, pre-emergence, and early post-emergence applications, offering excellent weed management and improved crop establishment.
Active: Saflufenacil
Formulation: WG (Water-Dispersible Granule)
Rapid Burndown & Residual Control
HRAC Group 14 Action
Product Information
Mode of Action
Saflufenacil (HRAC Group 14) inhibits the protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO) enzyme, disrupting chlorophyll synthesis and cell membrane integrity in target plants. This inhibition causes rapid accumulation of reactive oxygen species, resulting in swift foliar necrosis and desiccation of susceptible broadleaf weeds.
Target Weeds
- Amaranthus spp. (Pigweed / Palmer Amaranth)
- Chenopodium album (Lambsquarters)
- Parthenium hysterophorus
- Conyza spp. (Fleabane / Horseweed)
- Bidens pilosa
- Ipomoea spp. (Morningglory)
- Xanthium strumarium (Cocklebur)
- Annual broadleaf weeds
Recommended Application Guidance
| Crop / Area | Target Weeds | Dosage & Method of Application |
|---|---|---|
| Soybean, Maize, Wheat, Sugarcane, Fallow Land & Non-crop Areas | Annual broadleaf weeds | Apply as a pre-plant, pre-emergence, or early post-emergence spray at the recommended label dosage. Ensure thorough and uniform spray coverage for optimum weed control. |
For specific g/ha dosage rates and local spray volume recommendations across registered crops and fallow sites, please refer to the registered product label or consult local agricultural extension specialists.
Application Instructions
1. Multi-Stage Application Timing
Apply as a pre-plant burn-down, pre-emergence soil treatment, or early post-emergence spray when broadleaf weeds are small and actively growing for optimum burndown efficiency.
2. Thorough Spray Coverage
Ensure complete and uniform spray coverage over weed foliage using calibrated boom sprayers. Thorough droplet coverage is essential to maximize the rapid contact burndown and residual efficacy of the PPO inhibitor.
Safety & Environmental Care
Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (gloves, goggles, face mask, protective suit) during handling, mixing, and application. Avoid spray drift onto non-target broadleaf crops and nearby aquatic habitats. Store in original sealed container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location away from food, drink, and animal feed.
