| Uptake and Translocation |
Taken up through foliage. Not readily translocated. |
| Mode of Action |
Cell-membrane disrupter. |
| Basis of Selectivity |
Beans metabolize fomesafen. Some initial bronzing
of crop leaves may occur, but plants normally outgrow this condition
without any effect on maturity or yield. |
| Application Methods |
Early postemergence to weeds and crop. Apply when
beans are 1-2 trifoliate and weeds are at the 2- to 4-leaf stage.
Good coverage is essential for optimum weed control. Apply in
200-350 L of water/ha at a pressure between 245-420 kPa. Always
add an adjuvant such as Agral
90 (0.25% v/v) or Turbocharge
(0.5% v/v). Pinnacle
or Venture
may be tank-mixed for additional weed control. |
| Residual Activity |
Persistence depends on weather and soil conditions
(more persistent under dry conditions). Rotation to field corn,
dry beans or soybeans the following year. Winter wheat may be
planted 90 days after treatment. All other crops require a field
bioassay. |
| Unique Characteristics |
Do not apply Reflex to any field more than once
every 2 years. |
