Trifluralin 480 g/L, herbicide

Achieving consistent weed control at the germination stage requires a precise soil-applied solution that remains stable in the seedbed. Triflurex 480 EC, manufactured by F.Agan Chemical Manufacturers Ltd., Israel, is a specialized systemic herbicide designed to establish a durable chemical barrier in the soil, effectively targeting annual grasses and a wide range of broadleaf weeds.

Core Mechanism and Selectivity

The product utilizes trifluralin as its primary active ingredient, which functions by inhibiting microtubule assembly. This action halts cell division in the root meristems of germinating weeds. By treating the soil before the crop emerges, the herbicide effectively eliminates competition for nutrients, light, and water at the most vulnerable phase of crop development.

Field Application and Integration

• Soil Incorporation Standards: Due to the physical properties of the active molecule, immediate mechanical incorporation into the top 5–7 cm of soil is essential. This technical step is critical to prevent photolysis and volatilization, ensuring the herbicide is properly anchored to soil colloids.
• Broad Compatibility: The formula is highly selective, making it an ideal choice for crops such as garlic, winter rapeseed, coriander, cabbage, and watermelons. With a dosage range of 1–4 liters per hectare, it offers flexibility to match soil types—specifically, higher application rates are recommended for soils with higher organic matter to maintain efficacy.

As a pre-emergence herbicide, Triflurex 480 EC operates on a single-application basis per season. Its technical profile as a selective, systemic agent makes it a robust solution for farmers focused on clean fields from the moment of planting.
