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.
