Activity
Flufenacet is a herbicide intended primarily for soil application. It can be used early pre-plant, preplant surface (0-30 days before planting), shallow preplant incorporated, (mixed into the top 2-5 cm of soil before planting), pre-emergence (immediately following planting and prior to crop/weed emergence) and early post-emergence. Recommended timings vary according to crop and climate: some cereals are more sensitive to pre-emergence applications; potatoes cannot tolerate post-emergence applications; and the herbicide cannot be applied to direct-seeded rice, although transplanted rice tolerates it well. In Europe, the optimum time for application is pre-emergence. Flufenacet is taken up primarily by the roots and translocated to the meristematic tissues. It provides season-long residual control. Post-emergence treatments with flufenacet on cereals provide good weed control up to the three-leaf stage. Bayer says that flufenacet can be applied at rates 25%-50% lower than current standard graminicides.

The product Define is most effective when it is moved into the soil by rainfall after application. It can be used alone or in a tank mix combination with additional herbicides such as atrazine, Balance (isoxaflutole,W0051), Banvel, Prowl and Roundup to improve control of broadleaf weeds such as velvetleaf, common cocklebur and morningglory. The product provides partial control of annual grass/sedge weeds such as Cenchrus incertus,Cyperus esculentus, Eriochloa villosa, Panicum miliaceum, P texanum and Sorghum bicolor; and annual broadleaf weeds such as Amaranthus spp, A rudis, A tuberculatus, Ambrosia artemisiifolia, Brassica spp, Chenopodium spp, Desmodium tortuosum, Sida spinosa and Solanum ptycanthum. Define can be used in conservation, minimum or no-tillage crop production systems and may be applied as a broadcast spray up to 45 days before planting in corn.

In the Philippines, flufenacet is sold under the trade name Drago Plus (a twin-pack with bensulfuron-methyl) for the control of broadleaf weeds in transplanted rice. The product is applied 3-5 days after transplanting to flooded soil. Drago Plus is also recommended for the control of sedges, broadleaf weeds and annual grasses in seeded rice (applied 2-6 days after seeding).

Environmental fate: 
Animals:After oral administration, flufenacet is rapidly excreted by animals (rat, goat, hen); hence accumulation in organs and tissues is not to be expected. Metabolism takes place via cleavage of the molecule, followed by conjugation of the fluorophenyl moiety Soil:Aerobic DT50 34 d; secondary DT50 ?1 y ( calc.). Koc (sandy loam) 354 (range 233-613). Stable to photolysis in soil. Rapidly degraded in soil; residPlant:In maize, soya beans and cotton, flufenacet is rapidly and extensively metabolised; no parent compound was detected, even at early sampling dates. 
Fate in aquatic systems:
Flufenacet is not degraded by hydrolysis at pH 5 - 9, or by photolysis in water.
The Canadian PMRA recommends buffer zones of 24 and 40 m to protect sensitive non-target terrestrial plants and aquatic organisms, respectively.
