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.

Conditions for Application
