Foxtrot is a post-emergence herbicide that is selective for a wide range of annual and perennial grasses in a variety of crops. It is an oil-in-water (EW) herbicide that is ready to mix with water for application.

How Foxtrot Works

Foxtrot works by inhibiting the production of an enzyme that is essential for the growth of grass weeds. This causes the weeds to turn yellow and eventually die. Foxtrot is a post-emergence herbicide, which means that it must be applied to actively growing weeds. Foxtrot is absorbed by the leaves of the weeds and translocated throughout the plant, providing systemic control.

Application of Foxtrot

Foxtrot can be applied to a variety of crops, including:

  • Vegetables: Foxtrot can be used to control a wide range of annual and perennial grasses in a variety of vegetable crops, such as broccoli, cabbage, carrots, celery, cucumbers, eggplant, lettuce, melons, onions, peppers, potatoes, spinach, squash, tomatoes, and watermelons.

  • Flowers: Foxtrot can be used to control a wide range of annual and perennial grasses in a variety of flowers, such as roses, lilies, and sunflowers.

Conditions for Application

Foxtrot should be applied to actively growing weeds when the temperature is between 15°C and 30°C (59°F and 86°F). The weeds should be small and actively growing, and the crop should be healthy and vigorous. The label for the product will provide specific application rates and conditions for each crop.
