Fenox 480SC Herbicide 5L (New Safe Formulation)

Fenox 480SC is for pre-and post-emergence control of Broadleaf Weeds and some Annual Grasses in Apples, Grapes, Kiwifruit, Stonefruit and Forest Nurseries.
Active ingredient:
480g/litre oxyfluorfen SC Double the strength of Fenox 240 EC.
Main Uses:
- Controls Broadleaf Weeds + some Annual Grasses.
Used In:
- Tree Crops (e.g. Apples, Kiwifruit, Stonefruit).
- Forestry / Nurseries.
- Can also be used as a “spike” additive to boost other Herbicides.
Application Timing:
- Pre-emergence, apply immediately after sowing / to clean seedbeds.
- Before Weed emergence.
Typical Water Rate:
- 300–400 L/ha, post-emergence.
Apply When:
Weeds are ≤ 5 cm high, Crop is established (e.g. forestry ≥ ~5 weeks after Emergence), requires good coverage.
Use Rates: (from label examples).
- Rates vary by Crop – always check exact section.
- Forestry (e.g. Pinus, Cupressus) 1–2 L/ha.
- Eucalyptus / Acacia 0.25–0.5 L/ha.
- Other Species ~1–1.5 L/ha.
Key Use Conditions:
- Needs rain after application for residual activity.
Avoid:
- Very dry soil conditions.
- Rain within 3 hours (post-emergence).
- Must maintain a continuous soil coverage layer.
Crop Safety & Cautions:
- Can cause leaf burn / discolouration on some plants.
Do NOT use on:
- Very young plants (<1 year old).
- Newly grafted/budded Plants.
- Spray drift risk is high – can damage nearby Plants.
Environmental & Safety:
- Very toxic to aquatic life (long-lasting effects).
Hazard Classifications Include:
- Eye irritant.
- Long-term organ toxicity risk.
- Avoid contamination of Waterways.
Bottom Line:
Best used as a Pre-emergence residual Herbicide, it works by creating a soil surface barrier.
- Low mobility in soil → stays where applied.
Critical Factors For Success:
- Clean Seedbed.
- Even Coverage.
- Rain Activation.
- Small Weeds if Post-emergence.
Caution:
Must be used strictly according to label directions.

Available in 5L.
