CAS 83066-88-0: Fluazifop-P

Fluazifop-P is a herbicide that inhibits the growth of plants by blocking the synthesis of fatty acids. Fluazifop-P is applied to crops as a foliar spray, and it has been shown to work synergistically with glyphosate in inhibiting microbial metabolism. Fluazifop-P is absorbed into plant cells through lipid channels and has been shown to be active against plants that are resistant to glyphosate. The uptake of Fluazifop-P can be enhanced by applying it in conjunction with a nutrient solution, which may lead to increased environmental effects on the surrounding area. Fluazifop-P also inhibits plant cell growth and causes supercritical fluid extraction of lipids from leaves. This extract can be analyzed using analytical methods such as gas chromatography or liquid chromatography, which are used for various purposes including measuring the amount of monocarboxylic acid in the extract.
