GOAL

Product Description:

Goal® is a selective, contact herbicide designed to control annual broad-leaf weeds, some grasses, and suppress certain perennial weeds. It offers both pre-emergence and targeted post-emergence activity, making it versatile for use in various crops.

Specifications:

• Active Ingredient: Oxyfluorfen (diphenyl ether group)
• Weeds Controlled: Annual broad-leaf weeds, some grasses, and suppression of perennials
• Mode of Action: Pre-emergence and post-emergence activity by creating a chemical barrier on the soil surface and affecting actively growing weeds

Features:

• Forms a chemical barrier on the soil surface for pre-emergence action, affecting weed plants through direct contact as they emerge.
• Post-emergence application is highly effective on actively growing weeds, which are especially susceptible to Goal®.
• Contains Oxyfluorfen, which disrupts the plant’s enzyme Protoporphyrinogen oxidase, leading to the production of phototoxic oxygen species in the presence of sunlight, damaging the plant’s membranes.
• Sunlight is essential for its effective performance.

Crops Treated with Goal®:

• Onion
• Tea
• Potato
• Groundnut
• Direct Seeded Rice
• Mint

Mode of Action:

Goal® inhibits the enzyme Protoporphyrinogen oxidase, causing the accumulation of phototoxic heme and chlorophyll precursors. In the presence of sunlight, these precursors produce oxygen species that disrupt the plant’s membrane, leading to weed control.
