Formulations & concentrations

Technical materials, single active formulations and mixtures are listed separately, each with its declared content and the tolerance set by the FAO/WHO specification manual. Specifications added to the enquiry list can be sent together with other products in one purchase or registration enquiry.

Technical materials

Technical material for formulators. Each specification states the assay, relevant impurities and test methods.

Saflufenacil 97% TC≥ 97% (970 g/kg)

Single active formulations

Finished formulations of a single active ingredient, packed and labelled for the destination market.

Saflufenacil 70% WG70 ± 2.5%
Saflufenacil 10% OD10 ± 1%

Approved uses differ by country; the label registered in the destination market applies.

Quality specification

Each specification is supplied to the quality clauses that the FAO/WHO specification manual sets for its formulation type, tested by CIPAC methods. The batch certificate of analysis reports the measured values.

Mode of action & use

Mode of action

Inhibits protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO), causing rapid membrane damage in treated tissue.

Contact action on foliage with some uptake by roots; used for burndown and preemergence.

Typical targets and crops

Broadleaf weeds in burndown before planting, preemergence in corn and soybean, and in orchards, vineyards and noncrop areas; often mixed with glyphosate.

Resistance management · HRAC 14

PPO inhibitors carry a low to medium resistance risk; resistance has been reported in Amaranthus species. Rotate or mix with other HRAC groups.

This is general information on the active ingredient. Registered crops, targets, rates and preharvest intervals follow the label approved in each market.
