Product Name: Sodium Acifluorfen 16.5% + Clodinafop-Propargyl 8% EC
Formulation Type: EC (Emulsifiable Concentrate)
Category: Herbicide (Selective, Post-emergence)

Mode of Action:

• Sodium Acifluorfen: A diphenyl ether herbicide → inhibits protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO enzyme) → leads to membrane disruption and rapid cell death in broadleaf weeds.
