Ethofumesate

Type: Herbicide

Mode of Action: Inhibiting the synthesis of lipids

Common Product Names: Etho 4SC & Prograss

What is it?

Ethofumesate is a selective herbicide used primarily in sugar beet, turf, and certain vegetable crops. It is effective against a wide range of grasses and broadleaf weeds. The chemical structure of ethofumesate allows it to be absorbed by both the roots and leaves of the target plants, making it versatile in application. Its selective nature ensures that it targets unwanted vegetation while being safe for the primary crop.

How does it work?

Ethofumesate operates by inhibiting lipid synthesis, which is crucial for cell membrane formation and other vital plant processes. This inhibition leads to impaired growth and development of the weed, eventually causing its death. Ethofumesate can be used as both a pre-emergent and post-emergent herbicide, depending on the specific product formulation and application timing.

Benefits

  • Residual Control: Offers long-lasting weed control, reducing the need for multiple applications.
  • Dual Absorption: Absorbed by both roots and leaves, providing comprehensive control of weeds.
  • Visible Results: Typically, results are seen within a few days to a week, depending on the environmental conditions and the specific weed species.
