Sethoxydim
Weeds such as Crabgrass, annual ryegrass, and bahiagrass can be annoying on residential lawns, but they can be especially troubling to agricultural farmers and land managers who are trying to grow fruit and vegetable crops. This is when a herbicide like Sethoxydim may be necessary to kill the weeds but leave the crops unharmed.

What is Sethoxydim?
Sethoxydim is an active ingredient used as a post-emergent herbicide to control certain grassy weeds. It is a selective herbicide from the cyclohexanone family of chemicals. It was originally designed for use in agricultural settings to treat perennial and annual grasses found in fruit and vegetable crops, fields, and ornamentals. It is mainly formulated as an emulsifiable concentrate.
How Does Sethoxydim Work?
Mode of Action
Sethoxydim kills target plants by acting as a lipid inhibitor. By interfering with the biosynthesis of lipids in grasses, the target weeds are unable to properly develop before eventually succumbing to the effects of the active ingredient and dying.
Benefits of Sethoxydim
Sethoxydim is a selective herbicide, meaning that when applied, it will only affect labeled target weeds and will not harm non-target vegetation like fruits and vegetables. This is especially useful in agricultural settings where only the weeds are killed, and the crops are spared.
Drawbacks of Sethoxydim
Sethoxydim is not effective in controlling broadleaf weeds and woody plants. It is also ineffective in eliminating sedges. Do not use Sethoxydim if you are looking to target invasive broadleaf plants.
Is Sulfentrazone Safe?
Sethoxydim is safe to use when applied according to label directions.
It is recommended that when mixing and/or applying Sethoxydim, proper personal protective equipment (PPE) (Gloves, protective eyewear, long-sleeved clothing) be worn. Please refer to the label for detailed safety instructions and restrictions.
What To Expect
Sethoxydim herbicide products can be applied as a broadcast or spot treatment. The best time to apply the product is in the early spring, with a repeat application in the Summer for season-long control. It should take 7 to 10 days for target weeds to succumb to the herbicide's effects.
