Fenoxasulfone is a novel rice herbicide that was discovered and developed by Kumiai Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. It displays excellent herbicidal activity against Echinochloa spp. and other annual weeds at 150-200 g a.i./ha with long residual activity and has a favorable toxicological, ecotoxicological, and environmental profile. Fenoxasulfone's mode of action was investigated, and it has been shown to inhibit the biosynthesis of very-long-chain fatty acids in plants. Fenoxasulfone was registered in Japan in 2014, and various products containing fenoxasulfone have been launched. With its high efficacy and long residual activity, we believe that fenoxasulfone will contribute to efficient food production in the future.
