Oxyfluorfen 25% SC is a suspension concentrate herbicide formulated with 25% active ingredient Oxyfluorfen (CAS No. 42874-03-3), a protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO) inhibitor that provides selective control of broadleaf and grassy weeds. It is designed for both pre-emergence (before weed germination) and post-emergence (after weed emergence) applications, making it a versatile solution for different weed management programs.
Once applied, Oxyfluorfen is absorbed by the weed’s foliage or seeds in the soil. As a PPO inhibitor, it blocks chlorophyll biosynthesis, leading to the accumulation of reactive oxygen species. This disrupts cell membranes, causing rapid desiccation and necrosis of the target weeds.
For pre-emergence use, it forms a protective layer on the soil surface, inhibiting weed seed germination and early growth.
For post-emergence use, it acts via contact kill, quickly burning down green tissues upon sunlight exposure, typically within 24–48 hours.
Performance Highlights
Low use rate: Effective at ultra-low dosage, reducing chemical load.
Dual timing flexibility: Works before or after weed emergence.
Residual effect: Weed control lasting up to 6–8 weeks under recommended conditions.
Fast visible results: Burn-down symptoms appear within 1–2 days in post-emergence applications.
Oxyfluorfen 25% SC delivers broad-spectrum control of both annual broadleaf weeds and certain grassy weeds in a wide range of crops. It is highly effective against problematic weeds such as:
Broadleaf weeds: field mustard (Brassica campestris), water amaranth (Amaranthus spp.), iron amaranth (Amaranthus retroflexus), knotweed (Polygonum spp.), nightshade (Solanum nigrum), cocklebur (Xanthium strumarium), morning glory (Ipomoea spp.), quinoa (Chenopodium album).
Grassy weeds: barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli), setaria (Setaria viridis), heteromorphic sedge (Cyperus spp.).
The product is suitable for row crops, orchards, and plantation systems where both pre-emergence and post-emergence applications are required.

Works effectively in conventional, integrated, and minimal-tillage systems.
Selective nature reduces risk of crop injury when applied according to label.
Can be combined with other herbicides for broader weed spectrum in rotational programs.
Oxyfluorfen 25% SC can be used as pre-emergence or post-emergence treatment depending on the crop and weed spectrum. For optimal results:
Apply on moist soil to activate residual weed control.
Ensure uniform coverage—avoid skips or overlaps to prevent weed escapes or crop injury.
In post-emergence use, target young, actively growing weeds for maximum efficacy.
Avoid application under strong wind conditions to reduce drift.
Do not disturb treated soil after application to maintain the herbicide barrier.

5. Excellent Crop Selectivity
When used at recommended rates, Oxyfluorfen 25% SC is safe for key crops such as soybeans, cotton, garlic, peanuts, orchards, and vineyards, ensuring weed control without harming the main crop.
6. High Return on Investment (ROI)
For agrochemical distributors, Oxyfluorfen 25% SC offers a high-demand, proven formulation with strong field performance, ensuring repeat orders and long-term customer loyalty.
1. Superior Rainfastness
Once dried on the plant surface or absorbed into the soil, Oxyfluorfen 25% SC resists wash-off from rainfall or irrigation, maintaining its herbicidal effectiveness even under wet field conditions. This feature makes it ideal for regions with unpredictable weather patterns or frequent rain.
2. Extended Residual Activity
The formulation binds strongly to soil particles, forming a lasting protective barrier that prevents new weed germination for several weeks. This residual effect reduces the frequency of reapplications, saving time, labor, and operational costs.
3. Consistent Performance Across Climates
Whether applied in humid tropical zones or semi-arid farmland, Oxyfluorfen 25% SC delivers stable performance, ensuring growers can rely on it for season-long weed control without loss of efficacy due to rain or irrigation.
4. Reduced Weed Pressure Over Time
By maintaining long-term suppression of weed emergence, Oxyfluorfen 25% SC allows crops to establish stronger root systems and achieve higher yields, leading to greater profitability for farmers and distributors alike.
1. PPO Inhibitor for Unique Weed Control
Oxyfluorfen belongs to the PPO (protoporphyrinogen oxidase) inhibitor class of herbicides, which disrupts chlorophyll synthesis in susceptible weeds. This unique mode of action makes it highly effective against weeds that have developed resistance to ALS, ACCase, or EPSPS inhibitors.
2. Excellent for Rotation Programs
Incorporating Oxyfluorfen 25% SC into your herbicide rotation helps break resistance cycles in both monocot and broadleaf weeds. Alternating with herbicides from other chemical groups ensures long-term control and slows down resistance development.
3. Compatible with Tank Mix Partners
Oxyfluorfen 25% SC can be safely mixed with other herbicides such as clopyralid, pendimethalin, or metolachlor to broaden the weed spectrum and enhance efficacy, reducing the need for multiple separate applications.
4. Long-Term Weed Pressure Reduction
By reducing the survival rate of resistant weed populations, Oxyfluorfen 25% SC helps maintain the effectiveness of other herbicides in your portfolio, securing sustainable weed management for your customers.

1. Crop Safety
When applied according to the recommended dosage and timing, Oxyfluorfen 25% SC is safe for a wide range of crops, including soybeans, cotton, garlic, sugarcane, and orchards. Its selective mode of action targets weeds without damaging the crop, provided pre-emergence and post-emergence intervals are observed.

Oxyfluorfen binds strongly to soil particles, which minimizes the risk of leaching into groundwater. The herbicide degrades gradually under sunlight and microbial activity, reducing long-term environmental persistence. This makes it a preferred choice in integrated weed management (IWM) programs.
3. User Safety Guidelines
Always wear protective gloves, masks, and goggles during mixing and spraying.
Avoid direct skin contact and inhalation of spray mist.
Follow local re-entry interval (REI) regulations before allowing workers back into treated fields.
4. Storage & Disposal
Store the product in its original sealed container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and food sources. Dispose of empty containers according to local hazardous waste regulations to prevent environmental contamination.
