FAQ
What is Isoxaflutole 75% WDG?
Isoxaflutole 75% WDG is a selective herbicide that is used
to control a wide range of annual grasses and broadleaf weeds in various crops. It is mainly
used in corn, soybeans, and other crops to protect them from weed competition and increase
yield.
How does Isoxaflutole 75% WDG work?
Isoxaflutole 75% WDG works by
inhibiting the enzyme 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD), which is essential for the
biosynthesis of carotenoids in plants. By disrupting this process, the weeds are unable to
produce essential pigments for photosynthesis, leading to their death.
What are the
benefits of using Isoxaflutole 75% WDG?
Some of the key benefits of using Isoxaflutole
75% WDG include its high efficacy in controlling a broad spectrum of weeds, its selective
action on target weeds without harming crops, its flexibility in application timing, and its
ability to provide long-lasting weed control.
How should Isoxaflutole 75% WDG be
applied?
Isoxaflutole 75% WDG should be applied as a pre-emergence or early
post-emergence treatment, depending on the target weeds and crop being treated. It should be
applied using suitable equipment and at the recommended application rates to ensure
effective weed control.
Are there any precautions to take when using Isoxaflutole 75%
WDG?
Yes, there are several precautions to take when using Isoxaflutole 75% WDG. It is
important to read and follow the label instructions carefully, wear appropriate personal
protective equipment during handling and application, avoid spray drift to non-target areas,
and adhere to any buffer zones or restrictions in place.
Is Isoxaflutole 75% WDG safe
for the environment?
Isoxaflutole 75% WDG has a favorable environmental profile when used
according to the label instructions. It is rapidly degraded in soil and water, minimizing
the risk of accumulation or leaching. However, care should still be taken to prevent
contamination of water sources or non-target areas.
Can Isoxaflutole 75% WDG be
tank-mixed with other herbicides?
Yes, Isoxaflutole 75% WDG can be tank-mixed with other
compatible herbicides to broaden the spectrum of weed control or target specific weed
species. However, it is important to conduct a compatibility test prior to mixing and follow
the label instructions for proper tank-mixing procedures.
What is the recommended
storage and handling of Isoxaflutole 75% WDG?
Isoxaflutole 75% WDG should be stored in a
cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from heat sources and direct sunlight. It should be
kept in its original container, tightly closed, and out of reach of children, pets, or
unauthorized personnel. Proper handling practices should be followed to prevent spills or
accidents.
Is there a specific re-entry interval after applying Isoxaflutole 75%
WDG?
Yes, there is a specific re-entry interval specified on the product label that must
be adhered to after applying Isoxaflutole 75% WDG. This interval is determined based on
factors such as the crop being treated, application rate, and potential exposure risks to
ensure safety for workers entering treated areas.
