Oxyfluorfen 23.5% EC

Oxyfluorfen 23.5% EC – Broad-Spectrum Pre- and Post-Emergent Weed Control

Oxyfluorfen 23.5% EC is a proven pre- and early post-emergent herbicide trusted by growers worldwide for its broad-spectrum weed control and cost efficiency.

Unlike many selective herbicides, Oxyfluorfen 23.5% EC works by providing strong contact-kill action on germinating weed seedlings while also creating a protective barrier in the soil. This stops new weeds before they emerge and suppresses regrowth of certain perennial species.

Your buyers can rely on Oxyfluorfen herbicide to control both monocot and broadleaf weeds in a wide range of crops — from transplanted rice, cotton, corn, and peanuts to sugarcane, orchards, vineyards, vegetable fields, and forest nurseries. Key targets include setaria, barnyard grass, sesbania, ragweed, datura, and bromegrass.

Its 23.5% EC formulation makes it easy to mix, ensures stable suspension, and provides strong leaf surface coverage for better contact effect. The low toxicity profile helps protect non-target crops when applied correctly, giving growers the flexibility to apply before or shortly after crop emergence.

Plus, with our OEM/private label packaging, flexible batch sizes, and reliable supply chain, you help your buyers keep shelves stocked and growers satisfied all season long.

Mode of Action

Oxyfluorfen 23.5% EC is a contact-kill herbicide with both pre-emergent and early post-emergent activity — giving your growers flexible timing to tackle tough annual weeds.

Its unique mode of action works by inhibiting the enzyme protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO) in weeds. This disruption causes a buildup of reactive oxygen in plant cells, leading to rapid membrane damage and cell leakage. The result? Young weed seedlings dry out and die before they can compete with your crop.

Because Oxyfluorfen herbicide is non-systemic and acts on the leaf surface, it’s essential to achieve good coverage during application. Meanwhile, its soil residual effect forms a thin barrier in the top layer, preventing new weed seeds from successfully germinating for several weeks, depending on soil type and weather.

Your buyers can position Oxyfluorfen 23.5% EC as an efficient way to keep fields clean during critical early growth stages — reducing the need for repeated mechanical weeding or expensive rescue sprays later.

Quick Reference Table

Recommended Dosage & Application

When your buyers know how to apply Oxyfluorfen 23.5% EC correctly, they help growers achieve the best weed control results — while protecting their crops and soil.

Key tips for best performance:

• Apply before or shortly after weed emergence for maximum effect.

• Ensure even spray coverage, since Oxyfluorfen herbicide works by direct contact.

• Dosage may vary based on soil type — lighter soils may require lower rates to avoid crop injury.

• Avoid spraying just before heavy rain; excessive runoff can reduce control or affect newly planted crops like garlic or onion.

Typical Dosage Guide

Practical tip:
If your buyers plan to offer Oxyfluorfen 23.5% EC in combination with other residual herbicides, always recommend a jar test first to check compatibility. And remember: good soil moisture after application helps activate the residual barrier for longer weed suppression.

With clear dosage guidance, your buyers can make sure every hectare treated delivers maximum weed knockdown — protecting yield potential and reducing labor for growers.

Tank Mix Compatibility & Resistance Management

Your buyers can confidently position Oxyfluorfen 23.5% EC as a flexible base herbicide that fits well into Integrated Weed Management (IWM) programs.

Tank Mix Compatibility:

• Oxyfluorfen herbicide combines well with other pre-emergent and early post-emergent herbicides to broaden the weed control spectrum — especially in fields with mixed weed populations.

• Common partners include Pendimethalin, Pretilachlor, or Metolachlor, depending on the crop and local weed pressure.

• Always recommend a simple jar test first to check physical compatibility, especially when mixing EC formulations.

Resistance Management:

• Because Oxyfluorfen acts through PPO enzyme inhibition and direct contact-kill action, it has a different mode of action than many soil residual herbicides.

• Encourage your buyers to promote rotation or tank mixing with herbicides from different mode-of-action groups. This helps prevent resistant weed biotypes from becoming dominant.

• Use full recommended rates — underdosing increases the risk of resistance and reduces overall effectiveness.

By offering Oxyfluorfen 23.5% EC with clear mixing and rotation guidance, you help growers get cleaner fields and protect long-term herbicide performance — adding real value to your brand’s supply promise.

Safety Measures & Environmental Impact

When your buyers handle or promote Oxyfluorfen 23.5% EC, they need to help growers apply it correctly — so weeds get knocked down while crops and soil stay protected.

Safe Handling & Application:

• Always wear gloves, protective clothing, and goggles when mixing or spraying this contact-kill herbicide.

• Calibrate sprayers to ensure uniform coverage. Because Oxyfluorfen works by direct contact, patchy spraying can leave gaps where weeds survive.

• Avoid applying right before heavy rain to reduce runoff and protect crop roots — especially in crops like garlic or onions, which can be sensitive.

Crop Safety:

• When used as directed, Oxyfluorfen herbicide has a good selectivity profile. But because it’s non-systemic, direct contact with crop foliage should be minimized in certain sensitive crops.

• Recommend that growers adjust the dosage for soil type — lighter soils may need lower rates to prevent crop injury.

Environmental Considerations:

• Oxyfluorfen has low mobility in soil, so it stays near the surface where weed seeds germinate. This limits leaching and protects groundwater.

• Triple-rinse empty containers and dispose of them according to local agrochemical regulations. Never pour leftover spray into drains or water sources.

When your buyers share these safety and environmental guidelines clearly, they help growers protect fields sustainably while getting the weed control they paid for — and that keeps your brand’s reputation strong.

Field Use Scenarios

When your buyers share clear examples of Oxyfluorfen 23.5% EC in action, growers trust it more — because they can see exactly how it works, when it works best, and what results to expect.

Scenario 1: Transplanted Rice – Barnyard Grass Control

A rice grower applies Oxyfluorfen herbicide just before barnyard grass emerges.
Result: The soil surface residual barrier stops seeds from sprouting. Any early seedlings that break through are burned off by the contact-kill effect. The grower sees a cleaner field, fewer follow-up hand weeding passes, and more uniform rice tillering.

Scenario 2: Cotton Field – Setaria & Broadleaf Weeds

In a cotton region with setaria and ragweed issues, a farm co-op applies Oxyfluorfen 23.5% EC pre-emergence after the final seedbed prep.
Result: Weed pressure stays low through the critical crop establishment stage, saving on extra mechanical weeding. The grower reports higher stand counts and better early-season vigor.

Scenario 3: Orchards & Vineyards – Row Strip Management

An orchard manager sprays Oxyfluorfen 23.5% EC in tree rows during the dormant season to tackle broadleaf weeds and grassy annuals.
Result: The residual activity keeps row strips clean, minimizing competition for water and nutrients. Workers spend less time on mowing or hand weeding, lowering labor costs.

Scenario 4: Nursery Beds – Clean Starts for Seedlings

A forest nursery uses Oxyfluorfen herbicide pre-emergent in seedling beds.
Result: Young trees get a healthy start with fewer weeds competing for light and nutrients, resulting in stronger, more uniform transplant material.

When your buyers use simple, crop-specific stories like these, they show growers exactly why Oxyfluorfen 23.5% EC is more than just a herbicide — it’s a smart investment in cleaner fields and lower weed management costs.
