04What are the listed features of Penfox – Propaquizafop 10% EC?+
Contains Propaquizafop 10% as the active ingredient; Formulated as an Emulsifiable Concentrate (EC); Herbicide category product for weed management; Registered use in soybean, among other listed crops; Selective, post-emergence control of grassy weeds in broad-leaved crops; Systemic, ACCase-inhibiting mode of action
05How does Penfox – Propaquizafop 10% EC work?+
Propaquizafop is an aryloxyphenoxypropionate (FOP) herbicide that inhibits the enzyme acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase), which is required for fatty acid biosynthesis in grasses. Inhibition of this enzyme halts lipid synthesis in meristematic tissue, leading to growth cessation and death of susceptible grassy weeds, while broad-leaved crops such as soybean remain unaffected. Propaquizafop is classified under HRAC/WSSA Group 1 (ACCase inhibitors).
06How should Penfox – Propaquizafop 10% EC be applied?+
Penfox (Propaquizafop 10% EC) is diluted in the recommended volume of water and applied as a post-emergence foliar spray to actively growing grassy weeds in soybean, using standard knapsack or boom sprayers, following the approved product label.
