Oxykill is a selective, contact herbicide developed by Dhanuka Agritech Limited.
Oxykill Herbicide is effective as both a pre-emergence and post-emergence herbicide, offering control over annual broadleaf weeds, some grasses, and providing suppression of certain perennial weeds.
Its efficiency in smaller application rates makes it a cost-effective choice for farmers, balancing effectiveness with economic considerations.
Oxykill Herbicide Technical Details
Technical Name: Oxyfluorfen 23.5% EC
Mode of Entry: Contact
Mode of Action: Oxykill inhibits a specific enzyme, Protoporphyinogen oxidase, which leads to accumulation of phototoxic heme and chlorophyll precursors, which in presence of light, produce activated oxygen species. These oxygen species disrupt the membrane. Sunlight is essential for the performance of Oxyfluorfen.
Key Features & Benefits

As pre-emergence, Oxykill Dhanuka forms a chemical barrier on the soil surface and affects weed plants through direct contact at emergence.
Actively growing plants are very susceptible to Oxykill as post-emergence action.
