GOL

(Oxyfluorfen 23.5% EC)

GOL is a selective contact herbicide formulated with Oxyfluorfen 23.5% EC, designed for effective control of broadleaf weeds and certain grassy weeds in field crops, orchards, and plantation systems. The emulsifiable concentrate formulation ensures uniform spray coverage and strong leaf adhesion after application.

Oxyfluorfen acts by disrupting cell membrane integrity through inhibition of protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO), leading to rapid desiccation of susceptible weeds.

The herbicide works primarily through foliar contact, making sunlight essential for optimal activity, and providing efficient weed management while supporting healthy crop development.

Target Pests

GOL controls susceptible broadleaf weeds and select grasses by damaging leaf cell membranes through PPO inhibition, causing rapid desiccation, tissue collapse, and growth cessation in young weed seedlings under adequate sunlight conditions.
