Nufarm BroadStar Herbicide (Active Ingredient: Flumioxazin)

Description:
Nufarm BroadStar is a selective, pre-emergent granular herbicide designed to provide long-lasting residual control of broadleaf weeds and grassy weeds in ornamental landscapes, container-grown plants, and field-grown nursery stock. Its active ingredient, Flumioxazin, works by inhibiting protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO), preventing weed seed germination and growth. BroadStar is an excellent choice for managing weeds in non-crop areas without harming desirable plants.

Benefits:

• Long-lasting residual control – Provides up to 8 months of weed suppression.

• Selective action – Controls weeds without damaging ornamental plants when used as directed.

• Granular formulation – No mixing required; easy to apply with broadcast spreaders.

• Broad-spectrum control – Effectively targets a wide range of annual broadleaf and grassy weeds.

• Minimal leaching & runoff risk – Stays in place and does not easily move in soil.
