Pyroxasulfone Pre-Emergence Herbicide

Pyroxasulfone 85% WDG / 50% SC is a next-generation pre-emergent herbicide designed for residual control of annual grass and broadleaf weeds. Developed using advanced isoxazoline chemistry, this herbicide delivers powerful soil action to stop weed seedling development before it begins—ensuring a cleaner field and giving crops a competitive head start.

Ideal for row crops like corn, soybeans, wheat, and cotton, Pyroxasulfone offers excellent crop selectivity, long residual activity, and tank mix flexibility—making it a vital component of modern weed resistance management programs.

How Pyroxasulfone Works

Pyroxasulfone targets germinating weeds before emergence, blocking the synthesis of very-long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs)—critical building blocks for cell membranes in developing seedlings. This leads to arrested root and shoot formation, preventing weeds from establishing.

Unlike post-emergence herbicides, Pyroxasulfone acts in the soil zone, making it highly effective for pre-plant, pre-emergence, or early post-emergence programs. Classified under HRAC Group K3, it is especially valuable in managing resistant biotypes, including those resistant to ALS, glyphosate, or ACCase inhibitors.
