Florpyrauxifen-benzyl

Type: Herbicide

Mode of Action: Mimics the natural plant hormone auxin

Common Product Names: Duracor & TerraVue

What is it?

Florpyrauxifen-benzyl is a selective herbicide introduced to address the growing challenge of herbicide-resistant weeds. Developed by Corteva Agriscience, this active ingredient has shown excellent efficacy in controlling a wide range of weed species, particularly in rice paddies and aquatic settings. Its selectivity allows it to target weeds without harming desirable plants, making it an essential tool in integrated weed management programs.

How does it work?

Florpyrauxifen-benzyl works by mimicking the natural plant hormone auxin, which plays a crucial role in plant growth and development. When absorbed by susceptible weeds, this herbicide induces abnormal growth patterns, leading to cell disruption and eventual plant death. The herbicide is absorbed through both the leaves and roots, making it effective against weeds that have already emerged (post-emergent herbicide). In most cases, visible results can be seen within a few days, with complete control achieved within a couple of weeks.

Benefits

  • Quick Results: Visible effects on weeds are usually seen within a few days, with full control often achieved within two weeks.
  • Selective Herbicide: Safe for use on crops like rice, allowing for targeted weed control without damaging the crop.
  • Aquatic Weed Control: Approved for use in aquatic environments, making it versatile for both agricultural and non-agricultural applications.
