6 GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
Fenoxaprop is a selective and translocated herbicide that is absorbed through both leaves and roots. Its main use is for controlling wild oats and annual Phalaris in Wheat, Triticale, Cereal Rye and Chickpea crops. Barley may be damaged by fenoxaprop. Toxicity to mammals and birds is low but it is toxic to fish. In land environments it presents few environmental hazards because of its low mobility in soil, low volatility, low toxicity and reasonably quick degradation in soil and water. Direct application to aquatic ecosystems should be avoided. Application to flood irrigated areas or similar may lead to contamination of water. Plants are likely to become resistant to Fenoxaprop after repeated applications. Broad-leaved plants and legumes are not affected by Fenoxaprop. Non flammable. Non corrosive.7 APPLICATION METHODS AND TIPS:
Fenoxaprop is normally applied in water as a post-emergence spray by boom sprays or aircraft. Oils and wetting agents are included in the formulation and additional adjuvants are usually unnecessary. Optimum droplet size is 200-300 micron.11 COMPATIBILITY:
Hoegrass, Eclipse, Broadstrike and Lontrel are compatible with Wildcat S.14 HERBICIDE RESISTANCE:
Ryegrass and wild oats that are tolerant to Fenoxaprop occur naturally at low levels. After four or five annual applications of Fenoxaprop a significant level Fenoxaprop tolerance would be expected if no other form of weed control was practised.20 MODE OF ACTION:
Fenoxaprop is absorbed through the foliage of nearly all plants. In susceptible plants it is converted from the ethyl to the biologically active acid form. Typically, less than 10 per cent of this is translocated in the phloem and xylem to accumulate in the growing tips. Cell division and elongation are stopped resulting in the stunted appearance of treated plants. Fatty acid synthesis is stopped resulting in the death of growing tips, hence leaves of treated grasses can be easily pulled from their sheaths. Plants tolerant to Fenoxaprop appear to have a different fatty acid synthesis mechanism, degrade Fenoxaprop more quickly and do not convert as much of the inactive ethyl to the active acid form.24 TOXICITY:
Poison schedule S5.25 TOXICITY SYMPTOMS:
If splashed in eyes - wash out with water immediately and then see a doctor.23 PLANT SYMPTOMS:
Wild oats and annual phalaris stop growing soon after application. The young leaves show yellowing 2-3 days after application and may be easily pulled from their sheaths. About a week later, they begin to die, starting with the young leaves then the old leaves then the shoot. Complete death may take up to 4 weeks. Plants that recover have severely reduced root systems.27 ENVIRONMENTAL FATE:
Fenoxaprop is strongly adsorbed on soils which prevents leaching into ground water. In soil, microbes break down Fenoxaprop with a half life of around 14 days. At higher pH and under anaerobic conditions the half life is increased. It is broken down in plants. Fenoxaprop is rapidly excreted from animals and does not move into milk or eggs. It is degraded by light. In water the half life is approximately 1 day.31 PROPERTIES:
