Fenoxaprop-p-ethyl

Type: Herbicide

Mode of Action: Inhibiting the enzyme acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase)

Common Product Names: Ricestar 

What is it?

Fenoxaprop-p-ethyl is a selective post-emergent herbicide that targets grass weeds in a variety of crops, including cereals, rice, soybeans, and cotton. This herbicide is particularly effective against annual and perennial grasses such as barnyard grass, foxtails, and wild oats. Due to its selectivity, Fenoxaprop-p-ethyl can be applied to crops without harming them, making it a valuable tool in integrated weed management programs.

Fenoxaprop-p-ethyl is typically formulated as an emulsifiable concentrate and is applied as a foliar spray. It is absorbed by the leaves of the weeds and translocated throughout the plant, ensuring that the herbicide reaches all parts of the weed, including the roots.

How does it work?

Fenoxaprop-p-ethyl works by inhibiting the ACCase enzyme, which is essential for the synthesis of fatty acids in grass weeds. Once applied, the herbicide is absorbed through the leaves and moves systematically within the plant. The disruption in fatty acid synthesis leads to the disintegration of cell membranes, ultimately causing the weed to wither and die.

Benefits

  • Effective Control of Grass Weeds: Fenoxaprop-p-ethyl is highly effective against a wide range of grass weeds, including both annual and perennial species.
  • Selective Action: It specifically targets grasses without harming broadleaf crops, making it safe for use in various crop systems.
  • Systemic Action: The herbicide is translocated throughout the weed, ensuring complete control, including the roots, which prevents regrowth.
