Mode of Action

Post- emergence, selective herbicide with broad-spectrum action

Features

  • Astoria Super herbicide is an excellent choice for managing late-emerging grassy weeds such as echinochloa spp.
  • Astoria Super herbicide contains fenoxaprop-p-ethyl, which offers effective weed control against a variety of grasses.
  • Biochemically, Astoria Super predominantly inhibits the synthesis of fatty acids in the meristem tissues of grassy weeds.
  • This disturbs the normal growth and development of the weeds, ultimately leading to their death.
  • It is a versatile herbicide, suitable for all major broad-leaved crops, and has a broad-spectrum activity against different kinds of weeds.
  • Offers a flexible application window and effective control at low dosages, targeting annual grassy weeds from the two-leaf to mid-tillering stage.
