Flumioxazin is a herbicide active ingredient that can work that is used as an agricultural or aquatic herbicide. It is systemic, meaning it can be applied to foliage or root and be absorbed and move throughout the target plant. Flumioxazin is a yellow to slightly brown solid that is practically insoluble in water. Flumioxazin can work as both a pre-emergent or post-emergent herbicide and has been used to treat annual bluegrass and other warm-season turf grasses on golf courses.

Sumimax®, from Sumitomo Chemical, is a herbicide with powerful residual effects if applied to the soil and a fast and “burning” effect if applied to foliage. The active ingredient in Sumimax is flumioxazin, which blocks protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO) in chloroplast. With effect from solar power the herbicide causes active oxygen to oxidise lipids in the cell membrane, thus destroying it. The final result is the destruction of chloroplast in the plant, which prevents photosynthesis and brings about its death.

Description:-

Flumioxazin is a herbicide active ingredient that can work that is used as an agricultural or aquatic herbicide. It is systemic, meaning it can be applied to foliage or root and be absorbed and move throughout the target plant.

Flumioxazin is a yellow to slightly brown solid that is practically insoluble in water. Flumioxazin can work as both a pre-emergent or post-emergent herbicide and has been used to treat annual bluegrass and other warm-season turf grasses on golf courses.

Mode of Action

Flumioxazin works by inhibition of protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO), an enzyme that is important for the synthesis of chlorophyll . In other words, flumioxazin causes interference and halts the plants’ production of chlorophyll. Treated plants will respond quickly to treatment and rapidly decompose.

Flumioxazin is versatile in that it can be used as both a pre-emergent and post-emergent form of control on weeds and crops both on land and in aquatic sites.

Directions For Use:

This information is approved as part of the product label. Read all instructions carefully in order to obtain safe and effective use of this product.

SUMIMAX is a protoporphyrin oxidase (FPO) inhibitor herbicide with contact activity. This contact activity is long lasting during the autumn period in moist soil, giving persistent control of a range of annual grasses and broad leaved weeds in winter wheat. SUMIMAX is active on germinating seedlings, inhibiting chlorophyll synthesis, leading to weed death and reducing crop competition. SUMIMAX remains in the surface layer of the soil and does not migrate to lower layers. Activity is reliant on weeds germinating in moist soil and coming into sufficient contact with the herbicide.

Restrictions and Warnings


DO NOT mix any adjuvants with SUMIMAX.
Do not apply SUMIMAX to crops with lush or soft growth.
Only apply SUMIMAX to crops which have been sufficiently hardened by cool weather. Application to crops with soft growth will result in transient bleaching of leaves.
Do not apply SUMIMAX to waterlogged soils.
Do not apply SUMIMAX to soils of more than 10% organic matter as weed control may be reduced. Crops should be drilled to 25mm and well covered by soil.
Do not treat broadcast crops until they are past the 3 leaf stage.
Do not spray crops which are under stress of any kind, such as a nutritional deficiency, pest or disease attack, or waterlogging. Seedbeds should be moist, firm, fine and free of clods.
Do not roll or harrow crops 2 weeks before treatment, or at any time after treatment.
Do not disturb the soil after application. Only apply any tank mixes with SUMIMAX in strict accordance with the restrictions on this label, as well as any restrictions which might apply on the label of the tank mix partner. Extreme care should be taken to avoid damage by drift onto plants outside the target area.
Do not apply SUMIMAX to undersown crops. Do not apply SUMIMAX during periods of prolonged frosty weather
Light discolouration of leaf margins can occur after treatment, but there is no influence on crop yield.
