FMC Authority NXT is a pre-emergent herbicide formulated for effective control of broadleaf and grassy weeds in sugarcane and soybean. It is a premix of Sulfentrazone and Clomazone, providing dual-mode action for long-lasting residual control. Sulfentrazone (PPO inhibitor) disrupts weed cell membranes, while Clomazone (carotenoid biosynthesis inhibitor) prevents weed growth by inhibiting chlorophyll production. This selective and systemic herbicide offers broad-spectrum control, making it an ideal solution for resistant weed management.
