Product Overview

Anugold is a selective pre-emergence and post-emergence herbicide formulated with 23.5% oxyfluorfen as its active ingredient. It is an effective solution for controlling a wide range of annual broadleaf weeds and grasses in various agricultural crops, including beans, okra, tomato, coffee, rubber, and tea.

Mode of Action

Oxyfluorfen, the active component in Anugold, works by disrupting photosynthesis, a vital process for plant growth. It inhibits the synthesis of chlorophyll, leading to the formation of chlorinated pheophytins, which absorb light energy and release harmful energy as heat. This process damages plant tissues and ultimately kills the weeds.

Application Timing and Method

Anugold can be applied as both a pre-emergence and post-emergence herbicide. For pre-emergence application, it is ideal to apply before weed seeds germinate. For post-emergence application, it should be applied when weeds are small and actively growing. Anugold can be applied either by broadcasting or band application. The recommended dosage varies depending on the crop, soil type, and weed pressure.

  • Effective control of a wide range of broadleaf weeds and grasses
