APPLICATIONS

fenoxaprop-P-ethyl

Biochemistry Fatty acid synthesis inhibition in grasses, by inhibition of acetyl CoA carboxylase (ACCase).  Mode of action Fenoxaprop-P-ethyl is a selective herbicide with contact and systemic action, absorbed principally by the leaves, with translocation both acropetally and basipetally to the roots or rhizomes.  Uses Post-emergence control of annual and perennial grass weeds in potatoes, beans, soya beans, beets, vegetables, peanuts, flax, oilseed rape, and cotton; and (when applied with the herbicide safener mefenpyr-diethyl) annual and perennial grass weeds and wild oats in wheat, rye, triticale and, depending on ratio, in some varieties of barley. Phytotoxicity Non-phytotoxic to broad-leaved crops.  Formulation types EC; EW; SE.

ENVIRONMENTAL FATE

Plants In plants, fenoxaprop-ethyl is metabolised via fenoxaprop to 6-chloro-2,3-dihydrobenzoxazol-2-one.  Soil/Environment In soil, fenoxaprop-ethyl is rapidly hydrolysed to fenoxaprop (A. E. Smith, J. Agric. Food Chem., 1985, 33, 483); DT50 1-10 d.
