The mechanism of action of proxamidine

Proxamidine is classified as a K3 herbicide and belongs to the category of cell division inhibitors. After application, it is absorbed by the young roots and buds of weeds, inhibiting the early growth of seedlings, and damaging the meristematic tissue and embryo sheath. It is a serious potential inhibitor in the biosynthesis of VLCFA (very long side-chain fatty acids) (C20-C30) in plants.

The spectrum of action of proxamidine

It is mainly used for soil treatment before seedlings. It can be used on a variety of crops such as corn, wheat, soybeans, cotton, sunflowers, potatoes, peanuts, etc., effectively controlling annual grass weeds like foxtail grass, barnyard grass, Kentucky bluegrass, canary grass, horsetail grass, dragon claw grass, cow's fiber grass, false sorghum, and ryegrass, as well as annual broad-leaved weeds like amaranth, corn grass, solanth, purslane, and Portulaca oleracea.

The advantages of proxamidine

1、It has a wide range of applications to crops and a broad spectrum of weed control. Proxamidine can be safely used on a range of crops, such as corn, soybeans, cotton, peanuts, wheat, sunflowers, potatoes, etc. It can effectively control a series of weeds in the Poaceae family such as Setaria, Paspalum, Paspalum, Zea, and Zea, as well as broad-leaved weeds in the genera amaranthus, Datura, Solanum, 苘麻, and chenopodium.

2. Low dosage of chemicals per unit area. The dosage of sulfenpyrazole is 125 to 250g a.i. /hm2, which is 8 to 10 times lower than that of mepropachlor and acetochlor. It is only 12% of the dosage of S-mepropachlor and 10% of the dosage of acetochlor.

3. It can be mixed with various medications. If used in cornfields, it can be mixed with atrazine and azinoxone. When used in the post-emergence weeding of glyphosate-resistant corn fields in combination with glyphosate, the period of weed control is long. It can be mixed with atrazine for pre-germination treatment in sorghum fields.
