A field study was conducted at Agronomy Research Institute, AARI, Faisalabad, Pakistan during 2003-04 and 2004-05 to variable behaviour of three formulations of Fenoxaprop viz. Puma Super 75 EW (1250 and 625 ml), Pujing 10 EC (1000 and 500 ml) and Brake 10 EC (1000 and 500 ml/ha) was studied for their optimum doses against weeds in wheat. Higher doses were tested for Phalaris minor and Avena fatua while lower doses were tested for Avena species only. Puma Super 75EW (1250 and 625 ml/ha) gave better weed mortality (52.2 and 86.2%) while relatively lower weed mortality (38 and 73.5%) was observed in Brake 10 EC over control (untreated). Puma Super 75E (1250 and 625 ml/ha) also gave more grain yield (20.8 and 81.3% over control 9.3 and 7.7% over Pujing 10EC and 3.8 and 16.74% over Brake 10EC). Higher concentration of Fenoxa formulation proved better for Phalaris minor and lower for Avena species in wheat crop.
