Mode of Action
Post- emergent and selective herbicide
Features
- Flexibility in application time: 3-5 leaf stages, used as early post emergent herbicide.
- It is designed to target grassy weeds, specifically Echinochloa sp.
- When applied after weeds have emerged, Astoria disrupts their growth.
- The herbicide is absorbed by the leaves and stems and moves throughout the plant.
- Once absorbed by the leaves and stems of grassy weeds, fenoxaprop-p-ethyl interferes with the creation of fatty acids in the actively growing parts, disrupting the normal development of the weeds.
- This disruption hampers the weed’s ability to grow and stay alive.
- Shanmukha’s Astoria helps farmers safely and effectively eliminate weeds from paddy fields.
