UPL Iris Herbicide (Sodium Acifluorfen 16.5% + Clodinafop Propargyl 8% EC)
Product Description:
UPL Iris is a post-emergence, selective herbicide that combines Sodium Acifluorfen 16.5% and Clodinafop Propargyl 8% EC. This dual-mode herbicide is designed to control both broadleaf weeds and grassy weeds effectively, especially in crops like soybean. Its powerful combination ensures fast action and long-lasting control, helping crops grow weed-free and healthy.
Active Ingredients:
Sodium Acifluorfen (16.5%) – Broadleaf weed control
Clodinafop Propargyl (8%) – Grassy weed control
Mode of Action:
Sodium Acifluorfen works by disrupting photosynthesis in broadleaf weeds, leading to their rapid death.
Clodinafop Propargyl is a systemic herbicide that is absorbed by leaves and moves throughout grassy weeds to inhibit cell division, stopping growth.
Key Features:
✅ Dual action – Controls both grassy and broadleaf weeds
