Fluometuron belongs to the urea-type Photosystem II inhibitors.
It works by:
Blocking electron transport in photosystem II
Interrupting ATP energy generation
Leading to chlorosis, growth inhibition, and death of susceptible weeds
Application rate and mixture instructions should follow the local fluometuron herbicide label.
Fluometuron, commonly found in various fluometuron trade name formulations, is a selective pre-emergence and post-emergence herbicide. As a widely used fluometuron herbicide, it effectively controls broadleaf weeds and certain annual grasses.
Recommended crops:
Cotton (primary crop)
Sugarcane
Peanuts, sunflowers (depending on regional registration)
Target weeds:
Pigweed, lambsquarters, ragweed, morning glory, and annual grasses.
High crop selectivity: Safe for cotton at recommended rates.
Broad weed control: Effective on many broadleaf weeds and annual grasses.
Good compatibility: Often mixed with other cotton herbicides to enhance overall efficiency.
Long-lasting effect: Provides residual soil activity that reduces the need for additional sprays.
Regulatory support: Clear application guidance available through each fluometuron herbicide label.
Always follow the instructions on the fluometuron herbicide label.
Wear gloves, goggles, and protective clothing during preparation and application.
Avoid spraying on windy days to prevent drift to sensitive crops.
Keep away from water bodies to avoid contamination.
Store in a cool, dry, ventilated area away from food and children.
1. What is the main use of Fluometuron?
Fluometuron is a selective herbicide mainly used in cotton fields and is available under multiple fluometuron trade name products.
2. Which crops can Fluometuron be used on?
Primarily cotton; use on other crops such as sugarcane or peanuts depends on the regional fluometuron herbicide label approval.
3. How does Fluometuron control weeds?
As a fluometuron herbicide, it inhibits Photosystem II, stopping energy production and causing weed death.
4. Can Fluometuron be tank-mixed with other herbicides?
Yes, but mixtures must follow each fluometuron herbicide label to avoid crop injury or incompatibility.
5. Does Fluometuron pose resistance risks?
Continuous single-use may result in resistance; rotation with different modes of action is recommended.
