Common name

Fluroxypyr

Chemical name

[(4-amino-3, 5-dichloro-6-fluoro-2-pyridinyl) oxy] acetic acid.

CAS No

69377-81-7.

Molecular formula

C7H5Cl2FN2O3.

Application

Fluroxypyr is effective by post-emergence foliar application, controlling a range of economically important broad-leaved weeds (including Galium aparine and Kochia spp.) in all small grain crops, Rumex spp. and Urtica dioica in pastures, and Trifolium repens in amenity grassland. Directed applications are used against herbaceous and woody broad-leaved weeds in orchards (apple only) and plantation crops (rubber and oil palm), and broad-leaved brush spp. in conifer forests. Post-emergence, broadcast applications offluroxypyr in maize up to the 6-leaf stage of the crop are used for control of Calystegia sepium, Convolvulus arvensis and Solanum nigrum. The meptyl and 2-butoxy-1-methylethyl esters have similar activity, the advantage of the latter being the wider range of formulation options that are available. Applied at 180–400 g a.e./ha.
