Mode of Action: Rapid Desiccation Through Protoporphyrinogen Oxidase (PPO) Inhibition

Carfentrazone-ethyl belongs to the triazolinone class of herbicides and exerts its weed-killing effect by targeting the protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO) enzyme. This enzyme is critical in the biosynthesis of chlorophyll and other essential plant pigments. When PPO is inhibited, toxic intermediates accumulate within plant cells, causing disruption of cell membranes, leading to rapid oxidative damage and desiccation of leaf tissues.

Key Features of Its Action:

• Fast Visible Effect: Weed leaves begin to yellow, scorch, or dry within 2–24 hours of treatment, depending on environmental conditions and growth stage.

• Contact Activity: Carfentrazone-ethyl acts primarily through contact, making uniform spray coverage essential for maximum efficacy.

• Systemic Behavior in Resistant Weeds: Although not systemic in the traditional sense, PPO inhibition leads to secondary cellular collapse, which affects the entire plant.

• Selectivity: Due to the metabolic ability of target crops like wheat and rice to detoxify the active ingredient, the herbicide achieves broadleaf weed control without harming cereal crops.

• Sunlight Activation: Its mechanism of action is light-dependent, meaning its effects are enhanced in bright conditions—making it ideal for daytime application in sunny climates.

This unique PPO inhibition mode makes Carfentrazone-ethyl an important tool in resistance management programs, especially in fields where ALS- or ACCase-inhibitor resistance has developed.

Application Guidelines and Dosage

POMAIS Carfentrazone-ethyl provides flexible post-emergent weed control options across multiple crop types, especially in wheat, rice, and cereal fields where broadleaf weeds pose a serious yield threat. Depending on formulation concentration (10% WP, 10% WDG, or 40% WDG), the product can be precisely dosed to balance weed spectrum, crop stage, and local environmental conditions.

Best Practices for Use:

• Timing: Apply during the 3–6 leaf stage of weeds for maximum efficacy. The younger the weeds, the faster the visible damage.

• Water Volume: Recommended spray volume is 200–400 L/ha for even distribution.

• Equipment: Use standard knapsack or boom sprayers with flat-fan nozzles to ensure proper droplet coverage.

• Environmental Conditions: Apply during dry weather with clear skies. Avoid spraying during wind, rainfall, or excessive humidity.

• Crop Safety: Avoid contact with sensitive broadleaf crops such as vegetables, legumes, or fruit trees, particularly during drift-prone conditions.

When used according to label instructions, Carfentrazone-ethyl delivers consistent weed suppression without phytotoxic effects on labeled cereal crops, ensuring a clean and competitive field environment throughout the early to mid-season growth stages.

Advantages

POMAIS Carfentrazone-ethyl 10% WP / 40% WDG delivers multiple agronomic and commercial advantages that make it a preferred herbicide for cereal-based weed control programs. Its fast-acting mechanism, high crop selectivity, and compatibility with integrated weed management systems offer measurable benefits to both growers and distributors.

Fast Action Against Tough Broadleaf Weeds

Unlike slow-acting systemic herbicides, Carfentrazone-ethyl produces visible symptoms within hours, such as necrosis, leaf burn, and wilting. This fast feedback boosts user confidence and supports timely weed management decisions.

High Selectivity for Wheat and Rice

POMAIS Carfentrazone-ethyl is metabolized safely within cereal crops, preventing crop injury even when applied during sensitive vegetative stages. This makes it ideal for spring and winter wheat, rice-transplanted fields, and compatible with crop rotation systems.
