Fomesafen

Tech Grade: 98%TC

 Applicaton:

1. Soybeans (Spring Sowing): Apply at the 1-2 trifoliate leaf stage of soybeans when most weeds have emerged and are at the 2-4 leaf stage . Apply 60-100 ml per mu (900-1500 ml/ha) for spring soybeans . The preharvest interval (PHI) is 60 days . Use no more than 1 application per growing season . Some bronzing or crinkling of soybean leaves may occur after application, but plants outgrow these effects within 5-7 days without yield loss .

2. Soybeans (Summer Sowing): Apply at the 1-2 trifoliate leaf stage of soybeans when most weeds have emerged and are at the 2-4 leaf stage . Apply 50-60 ml per mu (750-900 ml/ha) for summer soybeans . The preharvest interval (PHI) is 60 days . Use no more than 1 application per growing season . For best results, apply with 40 liters of water per mu (600 L/ha) .

3. Cotton: Apply preplant surface, preemergence, and/or postemergence for control of broadleaf weeds, grasses, and sedges . Apply as a directed spray to avoid contact with cotton foliage. Thorough spray coverage is essential for effective control as the product works through contact action . Consult local labels for specific dosage rates.

4. Dry Beans / Snap Beans: Apply preplant surface, preemergence, and/or postemergence for control of broadleaf weeds, grasses, and sedges . Moisture is necessary to activate the product in soil for residual weed control. Postemergence applications require thorough coverage of emerged weeds .

5. Potatoes: Apply preplant surface, preemergence, and/or postemergence for control or suppression of broadleaf weeds, grasses, and sedges . For postemergence applications, apply to young, actively growing weeds that are not under stress. 

Cautions:

Application timing: Apply post-emergence when weeds are at the 2-4 leaf stage for optimal control . For soybeans, apply at the 1-2 trifoliate stage .

Rainfast period: This product is rainfast within 1 hour after application . It can also be effective if rainfall occurs 4-6 hours after treatment .

Maximum use per season: Do not apply Fomesafen to the same field more than once every two years to manage resistance and soil residue . Apply no more than once per growing season .

Restrictions on stressed plants: Do not apply to weeds or crops under stress conditions such as drought, low temperature, waterlogging, or low fertility, as this reduces efficacy and may increase crop injury risk .

Crop rotation intervals (replanting restrictions): Fomesafen can persist in soil for 1-4 months .

Drift management: Do not apply on windy days or when rain is expected. Prevent the pesticide solution from drifting onto adjacent sensitive broadleaf crops or non-target areas . Apply in the morning or evening when conditions are calm .

Mixing restriction: Do not mix with alkaline pesticides as this may cause decomposition and reduced efficacy .
