Whip Super is a selective post-emergence herbicide that offers effective control of a wide range of annual grassy weeds in broadleaf crops.1 Its active ingredient, Fenoxaprop-p-ethyl, works by inhibiting the synthesis of fatty acids in susceptible weeds.2
Key Features and Benefits:
Selective action: Specifically targets grassy weeds without harming broadleaf crops like soybean, cotton, black gram, onion, groundnut, and rice.3
Broad-spectrum control: Controls a variety of annual grasses, including Echinochloa spp.4 (barnyardgrass), Digitaria spp.5 (crabgrass), Eleusine indica (goosegrass), Setaria spp.6 (foxtail), and Brachiaria spp. (signalgrass).
Fast action: Rapidly absorbed by the leaves and stems of weeds, leading to quick cessation of growth.7
Flexible application window: Can be applied from the two-leaf stage to mid-tillering stage of the weeds.8
Low dosage: Offers effective control at low application rates.9
No soil activity: Rapidly broken down in the soil, minimizing the risk of carryover to subsequent crops.10
Mode of Action:
Fenoxaprop-p-ethyl belongs to the aryloxyphenoxypropionate (FOP) group of herbicides. It works by inhibiting Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase (ACCase), an enzyme crucial for fatty acid synthesis in plants. This disruption of lipid biosynthesis leads to the death of susceptible weeds.11
Applications:
Whip Super is registered for use on a variety of broadleaf crops, including:
Soybean12
Cotton13
Black gram14
