Dual Chemistry and Target Weed Spectrum
Fusiflex pairs an ACCase inhibitor (Fluazifop-p-butyl, HRAC Group 1) with a PPO inhibitor (Fomesafen, HRAC Group 14). This synergistic blend halts lipid synthesis in grassy weeds while generating destructive singlet oxygen in broadleaf weed cell membranes.
Controlling both monocot and dicot weeds in a single application reduces labor and tractor compaction.
- Grassy weeds: Echinochloa colona, Digitaria sanguinalis, and Dactyloctenium aegyptium.
- Broadleaf weeds: Amaranthus viridis, Commelina benghalensis, Digera arvensis, and Euphorbia geniculata.
- Crop safety: Highly selective to soybean and groundnut when applied at recommended vegetative crop stages.
Application Guidelines and Field Conditions
Optimal weed mortality requires spraying when weeds are small and actively photosynthesizing, typically between 15 to 25 days after crop sowing.
Adequate soil moisture supports chemical translocation through weed tissues to growing meristems.
- Apply when weeds possess 2 to 4 leaves; overgrown weeds exhibit reduced chemical susceptibility.
- Ensure sufficient soil moisture is present; avoid spraying during drought stress or extreme midday heat.
- Use knapsack or power sprayers fitted with flat fan nozzles for uniform swath coverage.

Common questions
What active ingredients are present in Fusiflex herbicide?
Fusiflex contains Fluazifop-p-butyl 11.1% + Fomesafen 11.1% SL, combining a graminicide with a broadleaf contact herbicide.
Which crops are labeled for Fusiflex application?
It is primarily registered for selective post-emergence weed management in soybean and groundnut fields.
When should Fusiflex be sprayed after sowing?
The recommended application window is early post-emergence, approximately 15 to 25 days after sowing when target weeds have 2 to 4 leaves.
