Full Name: Fenoxaprop
Synonyms: FXP
Fenoxaprop-P-ethyl is an aryloxyphenoxypropionate (AOPP) post-emergence herbicide. It inhibits acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase), blocking fatty acid biosynthesis and causing death of susceptible grass weeds. It selectively controls wild oats, foxtails and annual grass weeds in wheat, barley, rye, rice and soybeans, with a safener improving crop tolerance. It is hydrolysed in plants to the active acid fenoxaprop-P and further to chlorobenzoxazolone conjugates. Its structure features a benzoxazolyl-oxy-phenoxy propionate ester framework.
