Diflufenzopyr

Type: Herbicide

Mode of Action: Inhibiting auxin transport

Common Product Names: Overdrive & Status

What is it?

Diflufenzopyr is a highly effective herbicide active ingredient, commonly used in the management of broadleaf weeds and certain grasses. It is particularly valuable in crops like corn, where it is used to combat weeds that compete for nutrients, water, and sunlight. Diflufenzopyr is often used in combination with other herbicides, such as dicamba, to enhance its weed control spectrum and efficacy. This combination approach allows for more comprehensive management of weeds, especially those that are resistant to other herbicides.

How does it work?

Diflufenzopyr works by inhibiting the movement of auxins, a class of plant hormones, within the target weeds. Auxins are essential for cell elongation and growth direction in plants. By disrupting auxin transport, Diflufenzopyr causes the weeds to grow irregularly, leading to stunted growth and eventually death. This herbicide is primarily used as a post-emergent treatment, meaning it is applied after the weeds have emerged from the soil. Results are typically seen within a few days to a week, depending on environmental conditions and weed species.

Benefits

  • Broad Spectrum Activity: When combined with other herbicides, it can control a wide range of broadleaf weeds and certain grasses.
  • Auxin Transport Inhibition: Unique mode of action that disrupts weed growth and prevents them from competing with crops.
  • Visible Results in Days: Weeds start showing signs of distress and abnormal growth within a few days, leading to effective control.
