How OXYGO SUPER Works

Mode of Action

Oxyfluorfen is a PPO-inhibitor herbicide (HRAC Group 14) that blocks the protoporphyrinogen oxidase enzyme in germinating weeds. In sunlight, this triggers rapid membrane peroxidation  weed seedlings desiccate and die within 24–72 hours of emergence.

Where It Acts

• Absorbed mainly through shoots of emerging weeds, partly through roots
• Forms a thin herbicidal barrier in the top 2–3 cm of soil
• Active on germinating weeds and very young 1–2 leaf stage weeds
