- Active ingredient
- Oxyfluorfen
- Controls
- Host: Various crops and non-crop areas. Target: Broadleaf weeds
Apparent Oxyfluorfen 240 is a selective agricultural herbicide formulated with 240g/L of oxyfluorfen. It provides both pre-emergent (residual) and post-emergent (contact) control of a wide range of annual broadleaf weeds and some grasses in crop, plantation, and non-crop situations.
Active Ingredient
*Oxyfluorfen: 240g per litre (g/L)
Mode of Action
*Herbicide Group: Chemical Group G (diphenyl ether class) – inhibits protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO), disrupting cell membranes in susceptible weeds.

*Barley grass
*Barnyard grass
*Blackberry nightshade
*Bladder ketmia
*Capeweed
*Deadnettle
*Fat hen
*Liverseed grass
*Pigweed
*Redshank
*Sowthistle
*Wild radish

*Areas requiring residual weed control
Key Characteristics & Benefits
*Selective weed control targeting a broad spectrum of annual broadleaf weeds and grasses
*Pre-emergent and post-emergent activity: provides residual control and contact activity on seedlings
*Residual activity: offers extended weed control depending on timing and rates
*Soil binding: oxyfluorfen binds strongly to soil, reducing leaching
*Tank mix compatible: can be combined with glyphosate or other herbicides to broaden control
Application Notes
*Apply to weed-free, moist soil for best pre-emergent control, or to small seedlings
*For tree and vine crops, applications are typically made before bud swell
*Use higher label rates for longer residual control (up to several months)
*Tank mixes with other herbicides can improve spectrum and control of established weeds
Safety & Handling
*Classified as a hazardous agricultural product; follow all safety directions on the label
*Not recommended for home garden use due to toxicity and professional application requirements
*Avoid grazing of treated weeds; observe withholding periods where specified

How does Apparent Oxyfluorfen 240 work?
Apparent Oxyfluorfen 240 contains oxyfluorfen, a herbicide that provides both pre-emergent (residual) and post-emergent (contact) control. It works by inhibiting protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO), which disrupts cell membranes in susceptible weeds. This means it can control weeds before they emerge from the soil and also control small seedlings that have already sprouted.
Do I need to read the label before using this product?
Yes, absolutely. Apparent Oxyfluorfen 240 is a regulated agricultural herbicide classified as hazardous. You must read and follow all safety directions, application instructions, withholding periods, and grazing restrictions on the registered product label before use. If you have questions about rates, timing, tank mixing, or safety, contact TGRM on (07) 5482 1692 or visit 55 Tozer St, Gympie, or consult the product label and an agronomist.
Is this suitable for home garden use?
No. Apparent Oxyfluorfen 240 is not recommended for home garden use due to its toxicity and the professional application requirements. This product is intended for agricultural and commercial use only. Please contact TGRM for advice on suitable alternatives for home use.
