Main Functions

Metamifop 10% + Fluroxypyr-Meptyl 5% + Cyhalofop-Butyl 15% OD is mainly used to:

• Control annual grass weeds in rice
• Support control of selected broadleaf weeds
• Fit post-emergence rice weed-management programs
• Support cleaner rice fields after crop emergence
• Combine more than one herbicide mode of action in one formulation

Its main role is rice weed suppression after emergence, especially where grass weeds are the main economic problem and broadleaf support is also needed in the same spray program.

Mode of Action

Metamifop is an ACCase-inhibiting herbicide used in paddy fields for control of susceptible grass weeds. Scientific studies describe it as an ACCase inhibitor that disrupts fatty-acid synthesis in target weeds.

Cyhalofop-butyl is also an ACCase inhibitor and is officially described as a post-emergence herbicide for grass weed control in rice.

Fluroxypyr-meptyl belongs to the synthetic auxin direction. Fluroxypyr induces auxin-type responses in susceptible broadleaf weeds, and fluroxypyr-meptyl is described as a post-emergence herbicide used to manage broadleaf weeds in crops including rice.

Together, this gives the formulation a clear technical profile: two ACCase grass herbicides plus one synthetic-auxin broadleaf herbicide in one rice OD formulation.

Target Weeds

The main weed direction of this formulation is annual weeds in rice programs, with the strongest emphasis on annual grass weeds and an additional broadleaf-support role.

In practical use, the technical logic is clear:

• Metamifop supports grass-weed control
• Cyhalofop-butyl supports post-emergence rice grass-weed control
• Fluroxypyr-meptyl supports selected broadleaf weeds

Final weed claims should follow the approved local label in the destination market.

Suitable Crops and Application Areas

The clearest crop fit for Metamifop 10% + Fluroxypyr-Meptyl 5% + Cyhalofop-Butyl 15% OD is rice, including direct-seeded rice.

This formulation is intended for post-emergence rice weed-management programs where grass weeds are dominant and broadleaf support improves the overall weed-control profile. Final crop scope should always follow the approved local label.

Application Guidance

This herbicide should be used according to the approved local label. Its main fit is post-emergence application in rice after crop establishment, when target weeds are actively growing and accessible through foliar spray. Both metamifop and cyhalofop-butyl are post-emergence rice herbicides, and fluroxypyr-meptyl is also used post-emergence.

In general, this formulation is suitable when:

• the crop is rice
• the main weed pressure comes from annual grasses
• selected broadleaf weeds are also present
• the program needs a post-emergence OD herbicide
• the field includes direct-seeded rice or other registered rice systems

Final timing, dose, and spray conditions should follow the approved local label.

Formulation Features

OD means oil dispersion. The product information identifies this formulation directly as OD (Oil Dispersion).

This means Metamifop 10% + Fluroxypyr-Meptyl 5% + Cyhalofop-Butyl 15% OD is supplied as a liquid oil-dispersion herbicide for dilution before field spraying. The defining point of this formulation is the OD liquid route, not a dry granule or wettable powder route.

Product Advantages

Metamifop 10% + Fluroxypyr-Meptyl 5% + Cyhalofop-Butyl 15% OD stands out for these reasons:

• Rice-specific post-emergence use direction
• Strong annual grass-weed focus
• Two ACCase-inhibiting herbicide actives
• Synthetic-auxin broadleaf support
• OD liquid formulation
• Direct-seeded rice relevance

Its main technical strength is the combination of grass-weed control power with broadleaf support in a single post-emergence rice OD formulation.

Safety and Use Precautions

This herbicide should be handled carefully during mixing, spraying, storage, and transport. Because the formulation combines ACCase herbicides with a synthetic auxin-type herbicide, stewardship and rotation remain important in rice weed-management programs. Resistance issues in rice weeds to ACCase and auxin-type herbicide systems are well documented.

Important points include:

• follow the approved local label
• apply to actively growing target weeds
• avoid repeated exclusive reliance on the same herbicide program
• wear proper protective clothing, gloves, and face protection
• avoid contamination of water bodies and non-target areas

These precautions are especially important in rice systems where repeated post-emergence herbicide use can increase resistance pressure.

Storage and Transport

Store Metamifop 10% + Fluroxypyr-Meptyl 5% + Cyhalofop-Butyl 15% OD in the original sealed package in a cool, dry, and ventilated place. The product information also states that it should be protected from rain, sun exposure, high heat, and package damage, and kept away from food, beverages, feed, and seed.

As an OD liquid formulation, containers should also be protected from leakage, rough handling, and prolonged poor storage conditions before use.
