Flumioxazin

Flumioxazin is used pre-emergence for weed control in row crops and ornamentals, controlling of susceptible weeds including pigweeds, common ragweed, dandelion, green foxtail, common lamb`s-quarters. eastern black nightshade and hairy nightshade. Flumioxazin also exhibits post-emergence activity, characterized by rapid foliar desiccation and necrosis of green tissues. Therefore, this herbicide could be used in warm-season turfgrasses to induce winter dormancy and control winter annual weeds. Flumioxazin is a light-dependent peroxidizing herbicide (LDPH) which acts by blocking heme and chlorophyll biosynthesis resulting in an endogenous accumulation of photo-toxic porphyrins.
